Prayer in Use In the Chapel for Old Boys
on Active Service
O Almighty God, who art wiser than the
children of men and overrulest all things to their
good, hold, we beseech Thee, in Thy keeping all
who have gone forth to battle for our cause,
especially those from this School: watch over
those that are missing : comfort and protect those
in the hands of the enemy. Be with them in the
hour of danger, strengthen them in the hour of
weakness, sustain and comfort them in the hour
of sickness or of death. Grant that they may be
true to their calling and true always to Thee,
and make both them and us to be strong to do our
duty in Thy service, through Jesus Christ our
Lord.

EDITORIAL
As another school year begins, T.C.S. finds herself
with a larger enrolment than ever before — one hundred
and ninety-nine boys in the Senior School, seventy-six in
the Junior — yet ready, as usual, to distribute her many
benefits upon every conscientious student. Perhaps this
increase in attendance is indicative of the growing hope
that victory is on the threshold. With conferences being
held at Dumbarton Oaks and elsewhere, peace does seem to
be "just around the corner". The more important con-
sideration, however, is whether we shall be as successful in
negotiating the peace as we have been in winning the war.
Certainly the problem in securing an harmonious interna-
tional viewpoint common to all countries is the first pre-
requisite to a peace of any permanence. How are we to
obtain a unanimity of outlook amongst nations whose char-
acteristics and ambitions are so very different?
2 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
We are confronted, at T.C.S., with very much the same
problem on a considerably reduced scale. Can we, with
the School filled almost to the point of over-flowing, hope
to preserve harmony throughout the year? Let us decide
to make this our aim. How, then, are we to achieve this
unity? Perhaps we should be more inclined to seek it if
we realize that our success is dependent upon the co-
operation of all of us. A larger number of boys should
mean stronger teams and a stronger School, but these ad-
vantages cannot be expected unless complete accord exists
between every individual. Without doubt the path of har-
mony is co-operation. Such a spirit naturally develops
slowly and it is only by consistent effort that we can hope
to secure it.
It would indeed be an achievement if, from this year
on. all boys who attended the School were imbued with the
spirit of co-operation. We should then, by our example,
influence others to adopt the same principle, and in this
manner co-operation might eventually develop into a Cana-
dian policy. With one nation practising and spreading
this doctrine, others would soon follow her lead. Then
peace would become a more readily accessible goal.
Such an objective, and the assumption that a small
entity like ourselves can help reach it, seems like an im-
possible dream, but surely nothing is too great for us to
attempt when the peace of the whole world is the prize.
Furthermore, from a purely local point of view, the School
would stand to gain much from such a policy. Let us adopt
"Through Co-operation to Unity" as our watchword for
this and for ensuing years.

IN MEMORIAM
They walk in the City
that they have builded,
The city of God
from evil shielded.
A. P. ARDAGH
Lieut.-Col., B. C. Dragoons
"Doc" Ardagh he was always known as at School, and
"Doc" he will always be to his many friends. It is pain-
fully difficult to believe that "Doc" is not still with us for
he dropped in for a short time only last June in company
with his old school friend, Jim Strathy. Both were Colonels
and the same boyish young men, full of fun, despite all they
had gone through during the war.
"Doc" spent five years at the School, from September,
1922, until June, 1927. He reached the Sixth Form and
did good work in the top section of it. Not a brilliant
athlete, he took part in all games and for his size did
amazingly well. He won his second colours in football,
Middleside in cricket, and first team colours for Gym.
"Doc" was always very good in gym. work and he was a
member of the famous team which won every event in an
inter-school competition in Toronto.
School held no terrors for "Doc" and he was able to
derive some enjoyment out of every experience. He was
very popular and always ready for a "lark".
He entered the Royal Military College where he had
four successful years; afterwards he tried flying for a time,
and then became a Captain in the Royal Canadian Dra-
goons.
In April, 1940, he went overseas as Camp Commandant
to Major-General Victor Odium, G.O.C., the Second Divi-
sion. Early in 1941, he was transferred to the Third Bat-
talion Princess Louise Dragoon Guards. He returned to
Canada in April, 1942, to attend the Staff College and left
for overseas again in September. He served as Brigade
4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Major and then was appointed second-in-command of the
British Columbia Dragoons.
Recalled for duty in Ottawa as G.S.O. I in July, 1943,
he returned overseas at the end of June, 1944, and was
posted to the Canadian Armoured Corps, in Italy. He was
killed in action at Fogia on August 31st.
"Doc" Ardagh was a real Army man and a most
efficient officer, showing an extraordinary coolness in all
situations. He was a man's man and won countless friends
wherever he went.
He is survived by his widow and small daughter, of
Quebec, his mother and four sisters of Orillia. To them
the School extends its deep sympathy in their loss.
A. L. SMITH
Captain, R.C.A.
Those of us who remember Tony Smith when he first
entered the Junior School in September, 1917, see him so
clearly as he then was, a delightfully interesting lad, full
of vivacious enquiry, and always a wave of expression on
his happy face. He stayed with us for eight years and
continually he seemed to be the far-from-fixed point around
which many others moved.
We see him in the classroom, usually managing to
make the hours more exhilarating; in the Choir, losing
himself in the music; up in J.D.'s room, stuffing on buns
and ginger ale; on the football field, tackling like a fox
terrier ; in the covered rink, stick handling his way through
a crowd of players.
Tony loved to walk in the countryside for adventure,
collecting apples in forbidden orchards, visiting the river
during ice-floe time, damming up the creeks and fishing for
suckers in the Spring. There were always tales of race
horses in the offing and rumour had it that Tony had
bought one.
He reached the fifth form in his final year and was
appointed a House Captain. Also, he won his first team
colours in Football and Hockey.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 5
After he left he entered business and became a partner
in the insurance firm of Tomenson, Saunders, Smith and
Garfat. He was a most skilful horseman and was seldom
really happy unless he was near a good horse. Tony was
one of the best polo players in Canada and he often rode
as a jockey in races.
He enlisted as a private on the outbreak of war and
went overseas in 1941 after he had won his commission.
On his way to Normandy with the invasion forces his ship
was torpedoed and Tony swam in full equipment over a mile
to shore. He served in the most dangerous posts as a for-
ward observation officer directing the fire of his guns, and
on July 27th. he was kOled by German mortar fire.
His Commanding Officer calls Tony one of the "unsung
group of heroes who have probably done more than any
other group to help win this horrible war. On many
occasions the second front would have faUed if it hadn't
been for the guns directed by these brave officers in the
front line."
Tony is survived by his widow and small daughter, his
father, G. Larratt Smith, a brother, Bethune Smith, and
two sisters, all of Toronto. To them we send our deepest
sympathy.
J. W. F. PEACOCK
Flight Lieutenant, R.C.A.F.
John Peacock entered the School ten years ago, in
September, 1934, and yet it seems but yesterday. From
the first day he showed himself to be a lad of much pro-
mise and he well lived up to those expectations. Always
popular and friendly with other boys, he developed a strong
character and his example was consistently of the best.
John was an able and conscientious student and at the
same time he always performed well at games. For four
years he played on the first hockey team and his long thin
figure on the defence was ever a stumbling-block to the
opposing forwards. He was a good cricketer, winning his
colours in 1935 and remaining on the team until he left in
6 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
1938. In his final year he was also a member of the first
football and first squash teams.
Because of his sound character and leadership ability
he was made a Senior in 1937 and soon afterwards he was
appointed a Prefect.
From T.C.S. he entered McGill University. He was a
member of the C.O.T.C. and a reserve officer in the Black
Watch. He joined the R.C.A.F. radio branch as pilot officer
in September, 1941, and was attached to the R.A.F. over-
seas in the same year. Later he rejoined the R.C.A.F. as
a navigator on Beaufighters.
John had seen much action and always acquitted him-
self with the utmost skill, calmness and bravery. For his
outstanding ability and courage he was Mentioned in
Despatches in 1943.
On August 7th. his aircraft was on patrol over the
beachhead when they were suddenly attacked by enemy
fighters. The tail of John's plane was shot off and they
were out of control. His pilot, Wing Commander Beveridge,
gave the order to abandon the aircraft but John could not
get out of the usual door and self-sacrificingly helped his
companion to escape from the roof hatch. John was killed
instantly when the plane crashed.
His commanding officer speaks of John's qualities of
"leadership, determination and enthusiasm" and says he
was the most able navigator in the Wing and had the re-
sponsibility of training all the other navigators. He was
most popular with all his fellow officers and highly re-
spected by everyone.
John Peacock is another of those exceptionally fine
young men whose loss is a terrible blow, but whose sacri-
fice and heroism will save the world for the young and
unborn.
To Major and Mrs. F. A. Peacock and their second son,
Ted, we send our deep sympathy.
(We are privileged to publish the following extracts
from a letter received by John's parents from his com-
manding officer) :
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 7
"I cannot express in full the deep regret that my entire
Squadron feel at this moment. I speak with particular
feeling since I was with John until the last moment and it
was he who saved my life by pushing me free from the
aircraft, as we came down out of control.
"We were on patrol over the Beach Head during the
early hours of August 7th when we were suddenly attack-
ed by fighters. John gave me the warning as they at-
tacked; but before I could take avoiding action, we had
been hit and were out of control — our tail had been cut off.
We immediately set about getting clear of the aircraft in
the conventional manner which is out of the side. Apparent-
ly John was having difficulty, for when I asked him what
was wrong, he only replied that he couldn't jettison the
door. Accordingly I immediately jettisoned the hatch in
the roof directly over my head and tried to get clear; how-
ever, I found myself stuck half -in-half-out at the last
minute, not being able to clear myself through my own
efforts. I suddenly came clear. The only explanation I can
give is that John, unable to get his hatch open, decided that
one of us at least should get out and came to my rescue,
unselfishly abandoning hope for himself, and pushed me
from behind. My parachute opened just in time, as I hit
the ground a minute later. Thus John had no time to fol-
low me, and was killed instantly when the aircraft crashed,
about fifteen yards from me.
"Fortunately, the incident occurred within our own
lines. The following morning of August 8th, the funeral
was held at the Canadian Cemetery, at Beny-sur-Mer, near
Courcelles.
"John was without a doubt our most able navigator,
and consequently had the responsibility of looking after
the training of all our navigators — a job which he carried
out with extreme efficiency. Not only was he highly re-
spected for his knowledge and ability, but for his personal
qualities of leadership and the determination and en-
thusiasm he displayed on operations. He was most popu-
lar with everybody he came in contact with and I have had
many calls since I have returned to this country from peo-
ple expressing their regret when they read the report".

L.A.C., R.C.A.F.
Bill Strong came to T.C.S. in September, 1939, from
Selwyn House, and he left in June, 1942, to enter McGill
University.
During those three brief years we came to know Bill
well, some of us came to know him very well, and he in his
turn made many close friends. Bill was not by nature an
easy mixer; he did not wear his heart on his sleeve, but on
the contrary he had a reserve and hesitancy in his manner
which sometimes made people feel he was aloof, when in
reality it was merely an expression of his shyness, his
modesty, and natural dignity.
He moved easUy through the School, completing his
Middle School in June, 1941, and his Upper School in 1942.
Bill worked in spasms, but he wrestled in a puzzled fashion
with any difficulties and usually he conquered them.
In his final year, he played on the first football team
and was one of the best skiers in the School ; his enthusiasm
for skiing could not be dampened and he was a strong con-
tender in many open events, notably the Taschereau runs
in Quebec.
Because of his general leadership ability as well as his
dependability he was made a Senior and he performed his
duties faithfully and well.
In September, 1942, he entered the engineering course
at McGill and became a member of the Kappa Alpha fra-
ternity.
In February, 1943, he enlisted in the Air Force and
received his elementary training in Ontario and the West.
He was selected for a pilot and was completing his train-
ing at Uplands when his aircraft crashed on September 6th.
near Montebello, killing him instantly.
Bill was a young man of deep thoughts; he had a
strong religious nature and he sometimes gave voice to
his inmost feelings through the medium of verse. We print
below two of his more recent poems.
Bill's loss is a bitter one; he still seems a boy with most
of life before him and that is the way we shall constantly
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 9
remember him. Our deep sympathy goes out to his Father,
and Mother, Colonel and Mrs. Garnet Strong, and his
sister, all of Montreal.
TO THOSE WHO DIED
When I regard the landscape spread below:
The Cross for those who died that we be free
To live the life we love to live, and see
The summer's green, and winter's fields of snow,
I think of men who left loved homes to go
To distant countries, where they would not see
A flower, or bird perched singing in a tree,
But lead, hot steel and cordite of the foe.
That Cross, the symbol of the fallen dead,
Is also symbol of the One they led
Through city walls to Calv'ry's green-clad hill.
And hanging there, the Prophets' will fulfill ;
His cross stood high, with thieves on either side.
And in the arms of God, his Father, died.
— W. G. M. strong (June, 1942)
ON THE DEATH OF MY GRANDMOTHER
A thousand times have I looked up to thee,
And in those bright grey eyes, your life I'd see;
Your childhood spent in Scotland's rugged hUls.
The mere thought of it lifts my head, and swells
My heart and soul with pride ne'er told by me
To friend, nor relative — because 'tis we
Who for thy love and honoured memory.
Cause heaven and earth, the ocean and the sea
To sound and then re-somid, with noise that fiUs
Our ears and grief-numbed brains, with tolling bells.
* * * * *
"A life is gone", that ringing seems to say,
Yet when I think of you, life's winding way
Of death and sorrows, sickness and of play
Seems straight and wide and beautiful as day.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
CHAPELlHiNOTES
The services this year are being conducted at the
same times as in previous years. A fifteen minute service
is held each week-day evening at which senior boys read
the lessons. On Sundays there is a celebration of Holy
Communion before breakfast, Matins at 9.45, and Even-
song at 5.15, when a sermon is delivered. On the first Sun-
day in each month, a corporate Choral Eucharist is cele-
brated.
The Chapel is being looked after by an able group of
Sacristans headed by Hare, while most of its decoration
and fine appearance should be credited to Miss Smith and
the masters' wives.
Choir Notes
The year 1943-44 was one of the most successful for
some time. Of great assistance was the need for fewer
changes in the Choir at the start.
The first event of note, the Carol Service, maintained
a high standard, in spite of the distracting behaviour of the
organ, and, nothing daunted, the Choristers carried on with
fortitude, carrying the Service to a successful conclusion.
One Sunday in June, the Choir occupied the choir
stalls for Evensong at St. John's Church. There, to a
capacity congregation, in a building with excellent acoustics
and a fine organ to support them they gave a splendid per-
formance. The rendering of Mendelssohn's "Hear my
prayer", "And the Glory of the Lord" and the Hallelujah

Chorus from Handel's "Messiah" received much favourable
comment.
For the second year in succession the Head Prefect
was a member of the Choir. Parker started his choir con-
nection in the Junior School and was always a valuable and
cheerful member of the Tenor Section, as were Beament
and Keyes, also ex-J.S. Britton, too, was of that vintage
and a consistently useful Bass. Such old friends are sore-
ly missed. Other strong supporters were Curtis, Cawley,
Mathewson, Sutherland and Snelgrove.
This year the Choir has made a most promising start
with more than sufficient volunteers to fill the vacancies.
It is much regretted that the limited space in the stalls
prevent their acceptance.
There is an entirely new Tenor Section, with the
exception of Irwin and Evans, and we welcome Long, Wil-
son i, Goering, Drew and Caldbick. Returning Basses are
Huycke, Butterfield i, Matthews and Hope, and to these
have been added Gordon, Robson, Palmer, Gibson i and
Taylor i.
Of the Altos, Watts, Gill and Paterson ii have tem-
porarily departed for vocal readjustment, and they have
been replaced by Morris, Deverall and Scott ii. Dawson ii
has returned to England. There have been few changes in
the Junior School Trebles and it is hoped that none will be
necessary for some time.
A well deserved tribute is due to all the Choir boys of
last year who gave up more of their spare time than is
usual to achieve such happy and satisfactory results. A
special tribute should go to Mr. Cohu who so consistently
strives for and achieves results of high calibre.
The Underlying Element of Faith
The first sermon of the school year was delivered on
Sunday, September 17, by our new Chaplain, the Rev. E.
R. Bagley. He explained what he considered to be the
underlying element in his faith — that there is more to re-
ligion than behaviour. He warned us against the popular
12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
school-boy conception that a "good chap" is automatically
a good Christian. This is a mistake, because Christ's
standards are higher than those of the "decent sort". The
"good chap" often tends to become too self-reliant and
accordingly overlooks a fundamental factor in Christianity
— the grace of God. He does not realize the need for
prayer and he has no one to turn to. The Chaplain con-
cluded by assuring us that God will always assist those who
believe in Him.
An Address by the Headmaster
The Headmaster gave an address in Chapel on Sunday,
September 24. He spoke of the adventure of life, the new
experiences on which we are embarking in this school year,
experiences which added up will have a real bearing on our
future. "The life of the present, of to-day, lived earnestly,
intently" says Sir William Osier, "is the only insurance for
the future." And that is only another way of repeating
the advice Jesus gave — "take no thought for the morrow",
do not worry, but rely on God. "To-day well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every to-mor-
row a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day."
You are every day becoming more and more you, your-
self, a character, a real person, and the type of person you
become depends very largely on the thoughts you have, the
acts you commit, the habits you form. Self-confidence
and self-reliance spring from the knowledge that you have
the innate ability to master all your difficulties and that
the great source of strength, God, stands ready to help you
at all times. But remember the parable of the talents and
use your gifts, day by day. "Gird up your loins, and let
your lamps be shining".
In these Chapel services we fmd the way clearly mark-
ed on the map of life; we may stray, most people do, but
always we can find our way back again and keep to our

pand and clarify the God-given qualities of Truth, Beauty
and Righteousness, leading others along the King's High-
way.

Harvest Festival
The annual Harvest Festival service was held on Octo-
ber 1, and the Chaplain delivered the sermon. He chose
as his text "Give us this day our daily bread" and, explain-
ing the significance behind such a casual phrase, pointed
out that "bread" implies the co-operation between man and
God. The powers of God and the toil of man combined
make the production of the bread possible. The insigni-
ficant little men, who never make the headlines, are the in-
struments of the Almighty. Every creative effort, the
Chaplain stressed, is working with Him. "Everything de-
pends on God, and He depends on us." Therefore the
Harvest Festival should be aptly regarded as the climax
of the year.
Choir's Visit to Perrytown
On Sunday evening, October 1, the Choir went to
Perrytown to sing Evensong at the Harvest Festival ser-
vice. Owing to the absence of Mr. Cohu, John Irwin play-
ed the organ. The Choir sang the anthem, "Ring Ye Bells
of Joy and Praise", and their whole performance has been
spoken of in glowing terms.
God, the Lord of the Whole Earth
On Sunday, October 8, the Chaplain preached the ser-
mon. He chose as his text, "Are ye not as the children of
the Ethiopians unto me, O Children of Israel?"
He warned us against the tendency, which is at its
height in wartime, of thinking of God as though he be-
14 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
longed to us exclusively. We must realize that God is the
Lord of the whole earth, in whose sight each nation has
its own standing or destiny; otherwise we will revert to
the ancient habit of regarding our Lord as a tribal deity,
with whom it was customary to make covenants. How-
ever, it is extremely doubtful that any "favoured-nation
clause" could be found in these covenants. The Chaplain
went on to say that we must turn again to God — not a God
who is concerned primarily with our efforts, but a God
whose infinite wisdom, justice and redemptive mercy can
set men free from their own inevitable destruction.
The Church of the Holy Trinity
On Sunday, October 15, the Rev. John Frank spoke in
Chapel and related the very interesting history of Holy
Trinity Church, one of the oldest in Toronto, of which
he is rector. He told us how an anonymous gift of £5,000
had enabled Bishop Strachan to build Holy Trinity about
the year 1845. One of the conditions of the gift was that
the seats should always be free. However, the story that
it was the donation of two ladies, who, while travelling
through Upper Canada, had been turned out of one of the
rented pews in St. James' Cathedral, is not correct. Actual-
ly the gift was contained in the will of the wife of a York-
shire clergyman.
From its dedication in 1847, Holy Trinity has always
been a pioneer in church matters. It was the first Toronto
church to have candles on the altar and to have a Choral
Eucharist. To-day, its programme for the transient im-
employed is the first of its kind, and its annual Nativity
play. "The Christmas Story", which was brought over from
England six years ago, has gained much notice.
Mr. Frank closed with the hope that as Holy Trinity
approaches its one hundredth birthday, its relations with
T.C.S. would be as strong as they had been in the past.

Church Parade
On Sunday, October 22, the Cadet Corps took part in
the morning service at St. Mark's Church, later joining
other units in the Victory Loan Parade which culminated
in a short service of Dedication to Victory in the Town Hall
Park.
The service was conducted by the Rector, the Rev. T.
P. Crothwait ('17-'20), and the sermon was preached by
the Rt. Rev. R. J. Renison ('86-'92), Lord Bishop of Moo-
sonee. After the service, the Squadron marched with other
units to the Town Hall, where two hymns were sung,
prayers were said and speeches were made. After the
pennant of the Seventh Victory Loan had been raised, the
units moved off independently.
The Cadet Corps put on a very fine showing, consider-
ing that it was the first parade of the year, and the band
deserves special praise.
The Lord Is My Shepherd
On Sunday, October 22, the School was privileged to
have the Rt. Rev. R. J. Renison, ('86-'92), Lord Bishop of
Moosonee, and a former Head Boy of the School, preach
at Evensong in the Chapel.
For his text he chose the opening of the twenty-third
Psalm: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want". He
told us that this was possibly the most popular and best
known poem in the world. It has been translated into
every language, and has probably had more influence, at
least in the Christian world, than any other bit of poetry.
The Bishop went on to say that he had often wondered
how that psalm had come to be written, and in explana-
tion gave us a picture of the early life of David. In his
youth David was mostly occupied with the keeping of his
father's sheep. He had to lead them into the pastures and
to the streams, and he had to guard them from wolves and
other wild animals. Does not God do the same for us?
He cares for us, feeds us, guards us, and comforts us.

The George Percival Scholfield Memorial
During the summer a stone tablet in memory of George
Scholfield was placed in the wall of the cloisters leading
from the Hall to the Classroom Building. It is in the
form of a plaque with the sculptured likeness of George's
head at the top and an inscription underneath. The sculp-
tor was Miss Florence Wyle of Toronto, and she has cap-
tured an expression of George's which his friends well re-
member.
At the bottom of the tablet is a stone basin with a
drinking fountain.
The tablet has been much admired by many people;
we are deeply indebted again to Mrs. Scholfield and we feel
it is a very special privilege to have such a memorial of
one of our finest Old Boys.

Honour Matriculation
The School has again won many honours in the Upper
School or Honour Matriculation examinations.
A. E. Millward, Head Boy, lead all candidates for ad-
mission to the University of Toronto and won more Scholar-
ships than any candidate we can recall.
Millward has been a consistently brilliant student ever
since he entered the Junior School as the winner of an Old
Boys' Scholarship in September, 1939. He worked steadily
and conscientiously and proved himself to be a real student
by the way he applied himself. He deserves to the utmost
all the honour and praise he has won, and we wish him
continued success at the University.
J. B. S. Southey won the Richardson Memorial Scho-
larship at Queen's.
T.C.S. boys have now won no less than forty-six Uni-
versity Scholarships in the past nine years.

Royal Canadian Naval College
This year we are again proud to report that all our
candidates for entry into the Royal Canadian Naval Col-
lege were successful, upholding an unbroken record.
Bob Wisener came third in the final selection, and John
Fisher came ninth. Our congratulations go to these, and
to Philip Banister and George Fulford who stood twenty-
eighth and sixtieth.
We were sorry to hear that Jim Paterson, who stood
second in last year's examinations, and third in the final
selection, had been honourably discharged due to ill health,
he has joined the British Overseas Airways Corporation.
Our congratulations to David Common who has been ap-
pointed a Cadet Captain. The other two successful candi-
dates from last year, Mike Phillips and Peter Lawson are
both doing very well.
A Letter from the Oovemor General
On Speech Day last June, His Excellency, the Earl of
Athlone, said in part: "I must confess that when I was
here before, I was a little disappointed that I didn't get a
prize. So I suspect that I shall not get a prize this time
either I have attended many prize givings without
ever gaining a prize". His Excellency went on to express
his sympathy for the boys who found themselves in a
similar predicament.
During the summer, a prize was forwarded to Grovem-
20 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
ment House in the form of a small sterling silver cup, made
in England, suitably engraved to commemorate His Excel-
lency's visit. The following letter has been received:
Government House, Ottawa, 17th. October, 1944.
"I am most grateful to the boys of Trinity College
School for so kindly sending me such a delightful present.
I found it waiting for me when I returned from Eastern
Canada and was deeply touched by their generous thoughts.
"Would you kindly convey my thanks to all the boys
and tell them how much I appreciate my Consolation
Prize!"
Summer Jobs
During the summer of this fifth year of war, boys from
T.C.S. contributed in no small degree to the country's ever-
increasing war effort. Some worked in the fields, some
laboured in the sweltering heat of department stores or
offices, some spent long hours in factories or manufacturing
concerns, some few turned their hands to lumbering, while
many were counsellors in boys' camps. But, whether they
have returned to T.C.S. this year or have gone in further
pursuit of their careers, they have gained the experience
not only of their individual jobs but of learning how our
fellow Canadians live.

Warner had perhaps one of the most interesting of the
summer jobs, that of working for two months as a hos-
pital attendant in the Marcy State Hospital for the mentally
ill. He was in charge of a ward into which came all the
new patients, and which was commonly referred to as "the
suicide ward". He tells us that it was very absorbing
work, especially the examinations of the patients. He re-
veals that sometimes he and the other attendants had to
resort to the straight- jacket!
David Grier also did medical work in the X-ray de-
partment of the Evanston Hospital. He tells us that it
was an extremely interesting job, photographing bone
pinnings, etc., in the operating room, and he hopes it will
help him in his future career as a doctor.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 21
Baker joined the Merchant Navy in Vancouver and
made several trips up and down the West Coast. He also
made voyages to Alaska and to such ports as Skagway,
Prince Rupert and Wrangel.
Langdon, one of our new boys, worked for the Hol-
linger Gk)ld Mines, doing exploratory work known as geo-
physics. He tells us that by means of very complicated
and intricate instruments they collected many seemingly
useless figures, which, when transferred to a graph, indi-
cated the positions of deposits of copper.
Many of our boys worked on farms of all types during
the summer, some on farms of their own choosing, others
under the Ontario Farm Service Force. Besides these,
some worked as counsellors in boys' summer camps, gain-
ing much valuable experience, and helping to look after
our younger members. Some few of our boys journeyed
to the Austin lumber mills at Chapleau, Ontario. That
was hard work, but each year those boys who go there
come back saying how much they liked it.
Thus, in many and varied fields of endeavour, boys
from T.C.S. helped for a few short months to step up our
coimtry's production of both foodstuffs and armaments,
increasing the rush of the spring tide of manufactured
goods that will eventually carry us over the dykes of war
and into the plain of prosperity.
Staff Changes
Two masters have left us this year. Mr. Jarvis has
returned to Toronto where he is now a member of the
Upper Canada College staff; and the Rev. E. M. Dann, our
Chaplain for the past three years, has taken on the duties
of assistant to the rector of St. John the Evangelist in
Montreal. We are extremely sorry to see them go and
wish them the best of luck in their new work.

We are indeed fortunate in acquiring the services of
Mr. G. R. Gwynne-Timothy, the Rev. E. R. Bagley, and Mr.
P. H. J. Meyer.
22 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Squadron Leader Gwynne-Timothy comes to us from
the R.C.A.F. station at Mountain View, and he formerly
taught school in Windsor, Winnipeg and Toronto.
Mr. Bagley represents the west on our teaching staff,
having been chaplain as well as teacher at St. John's Col-
lege, Winnipeg, where he was also associated with the
cathedral for some time.
Mr. Meyer has come to T.C.S. from McGill University
and is teaching languages at the School until he continues
his course of study at Harvard.
We bid our three new masters welcome and hope that
their stay will be long and pleasant.
The Library
The academic year 1943-44 brought a marked decline
in the circulation of books in the Library. Until last year
the number of books charged out had shown a steady in-
crease since 1938, when records were first kept. The re-
duction was from an average of 27.5 books per student in
1942-43 to one of 15.5 last year.
This decline may be accounted for to some extent by
the fact that many of our students from England, who
constitute as a group the most extensive readers, have
either returned home or gone on to university. There has
also been a noticeable trend towards doing certain types of
work in the reading room instead of charging out the books
required for references.
During the year, 343 volumes were added to the
Library, largely again through the thoughtfulness of our
friends, among whom were R. A. R. Dewar, J. A. Paterson,
R. W. S. Robertson, Major D. K. Parr, P/O J. H. B. Dodd,
F/0 D. G. Partridge, J. N. Dalley, Esq., P. A. K. Giles, Col.
and Mrs. F. P. Mackie, Baron Silvercruys, G. D. Kirk-
patrick, Esq.. A. Speirs, W. D. MacCallan, Dr. E. N. Mor-
gan, D. G. O. Carmichael, R.N.V.R., J. R. del Rio, Pte. R.
E. S. Morgan, A. McN. Austin, Esq., D. A. Campbell, Colin
Scott, H. C. Wotherspoon. Esq.
May we take this opportunity of thanking them again
for their kindness and of assuring them that their help
in building up the Library means a great deal to us.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 23
Any summary of the year would be incomplete with-
out reference to the devotion of the Head Librarian, A. E.
Millward. It would have been quite impossible to carry on
without his constant and cheerful assistance.
Cadet Camp
Ten boys from T.C.S. attended the Cadet Camp al
Connaught Ranges during the first week and a half of July.
They formed Company B, combined with Brockville, Lind-
say and Glebe Collegiates. The greater part of each day
was spent in attending Military Studies Classes, where the
boys were instructed in fieldcraft, woodcraft, and in the
care and use of various weapons. After supper there were
sports and later a movie was generally shown in the re-
creation hall. Our Cadets, due to their excellent training
on the rifle range, gained the highest average score in
shooting. Our instructor, Lieut. S. J. Batt, was in charge
of the range. The boys who attended the camp were
Bovey, Fulford, McLaughlin, Stanger, Campbell i., Robert-
son, Hyde, Dawson ii, McDowell i. and Henshaw. We ex-
tend our congratulations to these boys for their success
and hope that in the future T.C.S. will be represented by
a larger number of Cadets.
Military Studies
For the fourth year, the School is conducting a variety
of classes in Military Studies, designed to give boys a
liberal, yet not too technical knowledge of military re-
quirements. Our scheme is modified from last year in
order to fit in more closely with the syllabus of Royal
Canadian Army Cadets. Proficiency in the various sub-
jects is recorded by chevrons to be worn on the uniform.
Boys who complete the course should be qualified for First
Class Cadets (5 chevrons) and, with camp experience, the
Master Cadet Badge.

New Boys* Picnic
On Sunday, September 24, the Headmaster wedged
some fifteen new boys from the Hospital, the Lodge dormi-
tory, and the Cottage into two cars and packed them off
to a secluded glen near the Ski Camp. Rather unusual was
the fact that the lads did not have to work for their limch.
A very sumptuous meal, cooked by the Headmaster, was
followed by games of touch rugby, softball, and the like,
while a few ambitious boys summoned up the energy to
hike across to the Ski Camp itself. To the Headmaster
and his helpers many thanks are due for a very pleasant
day.
Music Hours
Only one music hour has been held so far this year,
but it was very well attended. The programme varied
from "Deep River", sung by Marian Anderson, to the
"Silken Hour Overture" by Rossini. Schubert's "Unfinished
Symphony" was the featured work, and the hour was
brought to a successful conclusion by a rousing rendition
of the "1812 Overture" by Tschaikowsky.
It is hoped that future attendance will be even greater.
Every effort is being made to arrange the programme in
such a way that those who are unfamiliar, but eager to be-
come acquainted, with the masterpieces of music may
derive the maximum benefit from the music hours.
Music Appreciation
The music appreciation classes, under the spirited
direction of Mr. Dolin, are well under way. Works of the
old masters such as Byrd and Palestrina have been played,
together with the music of Mendelssohn and the decidedly
modem "Classical Symphony" by Prokofiev. A biographical
sketch of each composer is given, the work is then analysed,
and finally the records are played, thus enabling the lis-
tener to grasp a better understanding of the subject. Each
week a different composer and his works are dealt with,
and Tuesday night classes are eagerly awaited by all mem-
bers.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 25
Visit of Dr. Nickel
A surprise visit was paid the School by Dr. Nickel of
the Walt Disney Studios, Hollywood. Dr. Nickel has been
in charge of many of the well known sound effects heard
in Disney films, notably the whistling in "Snow White", in
which many of the tunes were his own compositions. He
whistled many tunes for us, including some of his own, but
the highlight of the evening was his presentation of bird
calls of all types. He told us some interesting facts about
whistling and the School participated in a mass "whistle".
All in all, the evening was very enjoyably and refreshingly
spent, and we hope to see Dr. Nickel again in the future,
perhaps to hear some of his "pupils" at work.
OtheUo
On Tuesday, September 26, a number of senior boys
motored to Toronto for the second performance of "Ot-
hello" with Paul Robeson in the title role. It was a splen-
did opportunity to witness one of Shakespeare's finest
dramas, enacted by a very distinguished cast. We hope
that such good fortune will favour us again.
Visit of Brigadier Wyman
On Thursday, October 5, the School received an un-
expected yet welcome visit from Brigadier W. Wyman, who
was in command of the First Canadian Armoured Division
in France at the break-through near Falaise.
Prevailed upon to say a few words in the Hall, he told
us some of his experiences in Sicily, Italy and France. He
added that wherever he had come into contact with T.C.S.
Old Boys in the forces he had always found them to be
brave and reliable soldiers. We wish to thank Brigadier
Wyman and to wish him a speedy recovery from his
wounds.

The Old Boys' Week-end
For three hectic days the smell of cigarettes was
everywhere, hands were sore from clapping and hand-
shaking, and the masters all wore perpetual smiles, as
Thanksgiving week-end, 1944, saw the return of almost
thirty Old Boys. These included many of last year's first
football squad, who were determined to show the young-
sters their places in the Annual Football Match. We have
enjoyed a constant stream of visitors this term from Old
Boys and former masters, mention of which is made in the
Old Boys' section.
Half Holiday
The School was granted a half holiday on Friday,
October 13, in honour of the academic successes of A. E.
Millward, last year's Head Boy. The soccer team and
Middleside football found the afternoon convenient to hold
last minute practices before their games on Saturday.
Other mention of Millward's awards appear elsewhere in
this issue.
Scholarships
Three scholarships were won by boys coming to T.C.S.
These were the Special Memorial Scholarship, won by G. B.

PARKER, E. M.— Winner of the Bronze Medal, Grand Chal-
lenge Cup for All-Round Athletics on Bigside, the Jack
Maynard Memorial Award, the Kerr Trophy, the E. L.
Curry Cup, Bradburn Cup for the best boxer, and the
Choir Prize, "Pose", our last year's Head Prefect, had
his hands full on Speech Day. His remarkable versatility
made him a leading figure in all branches of School life,
and this was especially the case in athletics. Here, he
was captain of the football and hockey teams, winner of
a distinction cap in the former, vice-captain of the gym.
team, and a stalwart on the first cricket team, as well as
being the winner of the above trophies. He was a truly
great athlete, and was particularly gifted as a- leader on
the playing fields. The same gift made him an excellent
Head Prefect, where his industry, courtesy, and integrity
unquestionably merited the Bronze Medal. To top it off,
"Mort" was "one of the boys" and a most popular mem-
ber of the School, with a passion for "cokes", food of
any kind, and swing music. Quite amazing, too, was the
number of week-ends "Pose" spent in Toronto! Few
boys have done as much for the School, and none deserve
our best wishes more than A.C.2 Ted Parker, R.C.A.F.
MILLWARD, A. E. — Head Boy extraordinaire, Millward
entered our Junior School with no training in Latin
whatsoever. With scholastic determination, for which
he became renowned at T.C.S., "Doggie" succeeded in
mastering the complete Latin course in short order. After
the entire J.S. library had been perused, he moved on
to the Senior School, searching for further fields to con-
quer. Completely ignoring his examination results (he
always neglected to read the notice board when month's
marks were posted) Millward completed his Middle
School with the breath-taking average of ninety-five per-
cent. In his Senior matric, owing to a strange twist
of fate, he received mere Second Class Honours in Eng-
lish Composition, while gaining First Class Honours in
28 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
ten other papers. Out of class his record was enviable,
for, although he only dabbled in sports, "Doggie" found
time for many extra-curricular activities. Besides being
Secretary, and later President, of the Political Science
Club, he occupied the position of Chairman of the De-
bates Committee, as well as being one of the most energe-
tic of School Librarians. Nevertheless, Millward did not
stop short of his ultimate goal. When he left, he occu-
pied the highest academic position at T.C.S., that of Head
Boy, and as a result of winning eight University of
Toronto Scholarships, including the Prince of Wales for
leading all other candidates, he became one of the most
brilliant students to enter Trinity College. This is truly
scholastic achievement at its height. Venit, Vidit, Vicit.
BRITTON, P. E. — Port Hope's pride and joy stepped into
Bethune House after a successful stay in the Junior
School. He became popular from the start. A stand-
out on last year's Bigside, Pete unfortunately broke his
collar-bone in the Ridley game — a game he had been
waiting seven years to play. As Vice-captain of hockey
for two years and a member of the First cricket team,
he gained wide renown and respect as an athlete. He
was also a Choir member of long standing who never
enjoyed himself more than when teasing Mr. Cohu. For
his consistent work as Head Sacristan and second Pre-
fect, he was awarded a special medal for Loyalty and
Co-operation on Speech Day. Of a fighting nature,
"Ewart" carried on a long, drawn-out battle with "Bon-
ham" Southey in an effort to gain the "bigtime" cro-
quinole championship of the Study. Pete was never the
same after "Knobby" left, but we hope that some young
female will restore him to his former spirits. Good luck,
Pete, at Varsity!
HOLTON, J. M.— In his only year in the J.S., "Granny"
won his white rugby sweater, which he still proudly
wears. Nevertheless, his stature and his collection of
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 29
rugby sweaters has increased noticeably since that time.
Among other spectacular feats of his early career,
"Grandmere" managed to have the School put on roll
call during a half -holiday, by attending a movie rather
than a hockey game. We can also recall a certain quaran-
tine edict on a twenty-fourth of May whole! A stalwart
lineman on Bigside, a successful manager of the i^'irst
hockey team and an illustrious cricketer on Middleside,
he was also a member of the Sixth Scholarship, These
attributes combined with his qualities of leadership
earned him the position of a Prefect and leader of Brent
House. In June, "Granny" left us for Varsity, where
v/e feel sure he will feel happy now that students to
argue with number in the thousands.
BEAMENT, J. A.— In the fall of 1940, there arrived from
Ottawa, via the J.S., a small, pudgy new-boy, who little
thought that he would some years later grow to be six
feet three inches tall. This was "The Bosco". Seldom
missed on account of his size, he played on all three
First teams, being Captain of cricket and receiving a
special cup for his fine work on the First hockey team.
As News Editor of the "Record", many very fine articles
may easily be traced to his pen, and as a student he
well deserved the Rigby History Prize. The loss of his
powerful voice will leave a definite gap in the Choir.
Early appointed to be a School Prefect, he and his im-
posing frame filled this position very capably. "Bosco"
was often to be seen parading up and down the terrace
during the summer months, his enormous hands holding
a minute pipe, his eyes staring far away (perhaps To-
ronto!). After establishing a reputation of no mean
size, "Bosco" left us to continue his growth — intellectual,
we hope! — at Trinity College. All the best, "Bosco!"
SOUTHEY, J. B. S.— With the now familiar yell "Yea,
Bowmanville", Jim began his rise to fame at T.C.S. All
his undertakings were accomplished with the same vigour
30 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
that he showed in publicizing his home town. Considered
last year by many to be one of the finest centre secon-
daries in Senior High School football, he advanced from
the Middleside C.O.S.S.A. championship team to become
an outstanding player on Bigside. "Bonham" was also
a basketball player of considerable ability, being Co-vice-
captain of the first team. But where his real ability lay,
and where he achieved his greatest fame was as a cro-
quinole player! As Editor of the "Record", Jim estab-
lished a standard that will be difficult to equal. A Pre-
fect and a hard-working member of Sixth Scholarship,
he was eminently successful in both these fields. We
hope that Jim's scholarship to Queen's University, and
the work it will necessitate, will not prevent him from
returning to us often.
BOVEY, C. A. Q.— "Chris" came from Selwyn House in
1940, and established in no time a considerable reputa-
tion for studious enterprise, resulting in his transfer to
the Fifth Form after Christmas. Academically ascend-
ing from one peak to another, he climaxed his stay here
by completing his Upper School Examinations with nine
first class honours. He worked most diligently as
Literary Editor of the "Record", and in recognition of
this was awarded the C. S. Maclnnes Prize. Learning
to type was no obstacle for Chris, and his continuous
pounding resulted in pages of printed manuscript and
swollen fingers — only the few he used, we mean! A
member of Bigside football and one of the best skiers in
the School, "Chris" was also an under-hand bowler of
great prowess on Middleside cricket. Soon after Easter
he was promoted to the Prefects' Study in recognition
of his valuable services to the School. We wish him the
best of luck at McGill where he is studying Science.
LESUEUR, R. V. — No one could be more suited to be the
first to receive the Jim McMullen Memorial Trophy than
Dick. An unselfish, co-operative, hard-working fellow,
he displayed these qualities in everything he undertook.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 31
"Levi" was a keen and masterful end on Bigside, an en-
thusiastic skier and a useful member of the First cricket
team. His presence as a female in a play assured its
success. Wow! ! Even his Housemaster went so far as
to ask him for a date! "Lassy's" esteem was universal
and he was especially popular in the Seniors' Common
Room. When he was made a Prefect there was general
approval. We shall always remember Dick as one of our
fine characters and a gentleman.
KEYES, R. G.— "Rusty" came to us from the J.S. with a
reputation as a fine athlete and a somewhat colourful
character. He left us last year with the same impres-
sion even more indelibly stamped upon our minds. His
achievements as Captain of basketball, and as a member
of Bigside rugby, cricket and the First gym. team speak
for themselves. He was not permitted to play football
during his last year owing to a serious injury to his
shoulder, yet he capably filled the position of manager.
His presence in the Choir, taken for granted for so long,
will be sadly missed. There was never a dull moment
when "Rusty" was around, whether in class or outside
of it, and the songs wh'ch he wrote for the football rallies
may well be sung as long as the game is played at T.C.S.
"Rusty" was one of the most cheerful and popular mem-
bers of the School and it was fitting that he was appoint-
ed a Prefect. Although he has made no immediate
plans for the future, we all join in wishing him success
in whatever endeavour he may undertake.
SAUNDERSON, D. M.— "Dodo"— "shouldered" his way
into Brent House by the front door. During his stay he
managed to grow a few inches (in width) and we are in-
formed that had he stayed any longer, the construction
of a new exit would have been necessary. A versatile
footballer, he played both line and backfield in two suc-
cessive seasons. Not limiting himself to one sport, how-
ever, he played Bigside cricket and earned first team
32 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
colours in Gym. and Basketball. As a member of Sixth
Scholarship, he was a worthy competitor to Millward and
MacLaren. Concerned chiefly with Mexico and his pipe,
he discussed the former while enjoying the latter. Our
best wishes go with him to Varsity, where we hope that
he has found door frames more suited to his own.
MORGAN, D. W.— "Booze" arrived in September, 1941, as
a bewildered new-boy, but soon distinguished himself by
making Littleside football and Middleside hockey. Kept
occupied by rooming with the indefatigable "Ling" dur-
ing his second year, he found time enough to make Mid-
dleside football and hockey. An ardent sports fan, Dave
could generally be found arguing the merits of "Les
Canadiens", or engaged in a card game of almost any de-
scription. Besides starring as a first team end and as a
forward on Bigside hockey, "Booze" was, in his last year,
a Prefect and Feature Editor of the "Record". Only a
serious operation during the spring term, prevented him
from organizing what might have been T.C.S.'s first base-
ball team. Dave is now studying law at McGill and we
wish him the best of luck.
CURTIS, G. C— Back in 1940, Glen answered his first new-
boy call. Last year he "avenged" that call when he be-
came a School Prefect. Always keen on sports, he cap-
tained the gym. team to a championship at Toronto and
for his outstanding work was awarded a distinction cap.
"Angels", only after much hard work, became his
specialty. Football also proved no obstacle to the
amazing "G.C." and he added a second colour to his
sweater coat. Photographs of the Gym. team remind us
of his pride in his physique. Who else would gladly rip
off their shirt at the slightest notice to display their
muscles? Glen was a pioneer of the Seniors' Common
Room. It was here that his charming (?) wit and per-
sonality found their main outlet. A member of the Sixth
Form, a Prefect, a two colour man, a member of long
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 33
standing in the Choir, an accomphshed barber, has left
us; all we can do now is wish him the best of luck at
Varsity and hope that he will come back often to lend
Charlie a hand!
BURLAND, C. D. D.— "Stone", so named because of his
adamant appearance and silent manner, really had a
heart of gold. During his two years in the Sixth form
he gained a name for himself as a consistent and con-
scientious worker. Last year he was given the responsi-
bility of writing up the Chapel Notes for the "Record",
a task which he performed with all the thoroughness of
his character. He played Bigside soccer and as a hoc-
key player acquired the somewhat questionable status
which most, of our Bermudians seem to attain. In June
the "Stone" rolled on to Trinity College, and with him
go our best wishes and sincere hopes that he will find
some bathtubs even more suitable for sailing boats than
those which were placed at his disposal here.
CARLISLE, A. E.— "Big Butch" Carlisle, six feet two and
a half inches of sunshine, came to the School from Selwyn
House in 1942. In his first year he made soup for
Seniors, played soccer and basketball, and worked dili-
gently in the Chapel and at his studies. Last year he
played on the Middleside soccer and basketball teams,
and for his keen interest in the Chapel he was made Co-
Head Sacristan. His cheery wit and smile, his clumsy
gait and his humorous determination were almost tradi-
tional around the School before he left, and he will be
missed by many. He is now at McGill University, con-
ducting experiments in an attempt to produce Silicon
Dioxide as a gas! ! ?
DELAHAYE, D. J.— "Del" first strode on to a T.C.S. rugby
field in September, 1942. In November, 1943, he march-
ed off that same field having won renown on the Middle-
34 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
side C.O.S.S.A. Champions and as a Little Big Four All-
Star inside wing. His spirit guided him through the
hockey season and when the ice had melted he was the
proud possessor of first team colours. Always quick on
his feet, "Del's" startling performance as a "dancer" in
the Bigside Review won him further fame. Although he
was only with us two years, he left as a Senior and as
a member of the Sixth Form. His untiring spirit and
his witty sarcasm will remain with us, even though he
has returned to his home town to study at Queen's Uni-
versity. As the future Doctor Delahaye, we gladly tip
our hats in appreciation and good wishes. With that
slow smile, "Del", how can you fail to gain high marks
for bedside manner?
FISHER, J. P.— "Fish" arrived in 1942, one of the invasion
of Montrealers, and immediately applied himself vigor-
ously to school life. He soon became known for his quiet
friendliness and lazy good nature. Although only here
two years, he was a vicious tackier on Middleside foot-
ball, a rugged defenceman on Bigside hockey, a guaran-
teed-to-go-out-second-baller on Middleside cricket and a
most ferocious (?) Senior. "J. P.", to round off his
achievements, carried off fifty percent, of the academic
prizes in the Fifth Form. "Fish" leaves us for the Naval
College where we feel sure he will be as successful as he
was here.
FRICKER, D. H.— "Swe-e-t one-e-e-e!" The entry of David
Fricker into the Seniors' Common Room invariably called
forth this remarkable cry, with "Le Grand Max" taking
the leading role and the remainder of the Seniors har-
monizing beautifully. Dave, affectionately called "Sweet
One" by his friends, came from Bedford, Quebec, staying
only long enough to top VIA (1). In the athletic field,
he shone at goal on Bigside soccer and at track, where
he was Middleside champion. His great passion was
chemistry, and to exhibit just how far his feelings went,
TRINITY CX)LLEGE SCHOOL REKJORD 35
he one day kindly offered some of his more intimate
friends a candy-like substance, and only when they were
on the point of swallowing it, did he warn them that it
was deadly poison. Although he was in charge of the
Carnegie Room and was a Librarian, he preferred to
spend his time in the Common Room. The playing of his
theme song, "Sweeter than the Sweet", brings back un-
forgetable memories and we hope that McGill will like
him as much as we all did.
GILES, P. A. K. — Peter arrived three years ago and soon
became one of the School's most notorious characters.
His radical ideas in history resulted in his always being
the centre of arguments over political or economic sub-
jects, and he was perhaps the most outspoken member
of the Political Science Club. Continually conspiring
with one or two of his more intimate associates to remedy
aspects of the school system, no intrigue of this nature
was ever complete without him. It is rumoured that
Peter is heading for Georgia Tech; whether acquiring a
Southern drawl or a place on their horse team, we wish
him the best of luck.
HIAM, E. W.— "Ned" penetrated the portals of the J.S.
from Vancouver in 1940, a wisp of light brown hair and
blue eyes. Here he outshone his fellow students and
out-argued all assailants of the West for a year, after
which he left for Brent House and greater things. It
was here that he acquired the name "Ferdie" after he had
inflicted one unfortunate with that never-to-be-forgotten
gem, the common room classic .... "Oh well, it rhymes
with Pericles!" His biting tongue, lively wit and argu-
mentativeness were a constant source of amusement and
enjoyment to his many friends, most of whom spent the
entire year in his room in the midst of furious sessions.
It must not be inferred from this, however, that Edwin
was solely an intellectual. His prowess on Middleside
football last year was considerable and he was a skier
36 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
of note, as well as being on the immortal horse team. He
won the Founder's Prize for Science, gained a first class
entrance to the M.I.T., and is now slaving under accele-
rated courses which we feel sure he will successfully out-
manoeuvre.
HIGGINBOTHAM, D. C— "Higg", following in his brother's
footsteps, wandered perplexedly into the J.S. in the fall
of 1939. His two year career there was climaxed by his
playing on all three teams. In the Senior School, he
combined athletics with work so that last year he was
a top boy in VIA (1), Captain of squash, and a member
of the First cricket, gym. and tennis teams. Up in the
gym., his very large feet were always a source of wonder
and amusement. In recognition of his achievements,
"Higg" received his Senior privileges. We know he will
continue his successful career at Trinity College.
HUGHES, J. A. — Jimmie flew up from sunny Jamaica with
a collection of "fish" stories that lasted throughout the
whole year. He never tired of telling us these adven-
tures (?) of his earlier life, especially in the "smoker"
where he was sure of an attentive audience. Although
he did not shine in the scholastic field, he nevertheless
excelled on the soccer ground and cricket pitch, playing
on both first teams. As Mr. Batt's "fag" he was un-
surpassed, and because of his extensive knowledge of
army regulations, discipline and small arms he developed
into his right hand man and "chief adviser". We wish
him the best of luck in the British Army, which he in-
tends to make his life work.
JONES, O. T. C— It was four years ago that "Itch", with
his mop of brilliant red hair visible a mile away, startled
the Senior School after a year in the J.S. During his
second year he was one of the pioneers of Petry House.
By steadily plugging away throughout his stay here, he
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 37
became, in his final year, a resident of Brent's "Ground
Floor", a House Officer, a member of the Sixth Form,
and a Sacristan. His main outside interest was current
affairs, into which he put much time that was eventually
rewarded with many boxes of free literature. In his
own quiet way Owen was one of the most pleasant mem-
bers of the School and we are indeed sorry not to have
him back with us.

IL EST MORT BRAVEMENT
The wide and rolling waste of sea
Lay vast and unexplored before our eyes;
The ship plowed steadily ahead
Into the creamy crest, and, were we wise
We should have turned about, retraced
Our course, and put back into shore; but firmly
We forged into an unknown world.
'Twas weeks before the Captain would affirm the
Nature of the good ship's course.
"My boys", he said, "you may have heard some tales
Pertaining to this voyage; nay.
The truth is lacking there, and naught avails
To sway me from my foremost aim —
To find a passage through the Straits, and west
And even westward to the East
To sail; to find La Chine, and to invest
In silks and spices, bringing back
To England luxury unknown before,
And gain large profits for my ends."
Alas, he saw his homeland never more!
We 'came more wary of our lot,
And then our Captain to mistrust.
We set him in the ship's small yacht,
And gave him water, meat, a crust,
And pushed him off to do his best
To reach old England, weeks away.
44 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
The food we'd giv'n, two weeks at best
His son and him would serve each day;
We thus were sure we'd see no more
Those men we'd left behind; and then:
"Weigh anchor, hoist the mains'l", roar
The mates. At once to posts the men
Make haste; the new moon moves from out
The night and takes a new content
And settled crew towards home. About
Twelve men e'er reached dear England, bent
On settling down and leaving home
No more! their Captain ne'er was found,
But lies alway beneath the foam
In waters named for him; he drowned,
Perhaps a hero to mankind,
But not the sailors who forsook
The trust which he had giv'n. Behind
They left a man who shall e'er look
With favour on the bold who try
To find the passage to the East
And sail and find La Chine and vie
With others for control. He ceased
To live, but still his spirit guides
Explorers nearer to their goal.
Old Hudson lies among those brides
Of chance, who give their soul
That others may achieve, where they
Have failed; and they their guides obey.

STORM BREWING
The breathless silence was significant, yet the moon
shone in a broad, blue heaven. The gentle lapping of tiny
waves against the soft sand of the beach was the only
sound in the breathless, tropical night. Even the many
tiny animals were silent, as if in deference to the majestic
beauty of this night. A wispy cloud floated lazily across
the moon, and for a moment all was bathed in a soft, re-
fracted half-light. Only the gentle swaying of the tallest
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 45
palms gave evidence to the warm breeze, which occasionally
njffled through the dense underbrush. Almost imper-
ceptibly, however, the friendly breeze began to quicken, un-
til it was no longer gentle, but fresh and powerful — a harsh
reminder of nature's indomitable might. The trees began
to creak ominously and the ocean was whipped into angry,
foam-flecked swells. The moon hid its head, as if in
shame, behind the vanguard of the onrushing clouds, and
a few spattering drops of rain completed the destruction
of the peaceful night.

OUR CROSS
It rises graceful as a tomb.
With symbolism dread;
A link connecting love and tears —
The living with the dead.
It represents a motley throng
With but one common trait;
They gave their lives for King and Home,
For those who stand and wait.
On carefree boys who play there now,
Heedless of those who came before,
The cross looks down and silent speaks:
"Their names shall live for evermore".

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Mr. Editor:
There is a subject which I have been extremely anxious
to discuss for some time, and through the medium of your
esteemed space, I wish to express my personal views on
Classical Music with the hope that they will be read by
many.
First, I should like to point out the prejudice conjured
up in many minds by the mere words "classical" or "sym-
46 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
phony". (Just as a matter of interest, it might be pointed
out here that in strict musical terminology the term "clas-
sical" is only applied to the composers Bach, Handel,
Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. Brahms was a Romanticist
and Shostakovitch is a Modernist). These prejudices can
easily be overcome by first listening to music more easy
to understand, before trying to tackle the lengthier and
more involved works of the great masters, which might
seem less obviously rhythmic and melodious to the un-
initiated.
Too often, five minutes of a Brahms Symphony, heard
over the radio during an afternoon, has formed a lifelong
antagonism against music. Rare is the man who can
appreciate a gigantic work like Beethoven's "Eroica" Sym-
phony on first hearing it, much less if he is listening to
classical music for the first time. We do not start Algebra
with the Binomial Theorem; why, then, should we start
music appreciation with the "Emperor" Concerto? Well
known and universally loved works like the "Nutcracker
Suite", Brahms' "Hungarian Dances", Elgar's "Pomp and
Circumstance Marches" and Handel's "Water Music"
should be heard first, before the listener attempts to cope
with such gargantuan affairs as the "Choral Symphony"
or Brahms' great "Violin Concerto".
In the future, it would be encouraging to be able to
look forward to music hours interspersed with music such
as has been mentioned above, full of rhythm and melody,
to make easy listening for those who are willing to try and
break their prejudices or dislikes. Classical music has
been defined as something which threatens to turn into a
melody any minute but never quite succeeds. The School
has a superb record library. Why not enlist its aid to
prove that this saying is a gross misstatement of facts?
The great melodies of the world are to be found among
the great composers. When most people to-day hear such
melodies as "Moon Love", "Tonight We Love", "Coin'
Home", they little realize that they are listening to sym-
phonic themes. What difference should a title such as
"The Opening Theme of the Second Movement to Tschai-
kowsky's 5th Symphony in E Minor" make to the intrinsic

qualities of the music? The theme under question has
been known and loved the world over by all people of all
ages as "Moon Love". What difference should the former
title make to it?
If some of us will learn to disregard the v/ords "Con-
certo", "Symphony", etc., and pass through the funda-
mental gates of musical nomenclature, vast new fields of
pleasure will be opened in the form of lively dance and
beautiful melody.

They stood facing each other. There was a snarl on
the face of one, while the other portrayed grim determina-

looked dog-tired and completely done-in ; yet, it was obvious
to me, the spectator, that neither was prepared to give up

looking for an opening. The other stood his ground, facing
him. Then suddenly, with blood dripping from a cut on
his cheek, "snarl face" leaped at his opponent. Every ounce
of strength in his body was behind that charge. He strove,
with every muscle straining, to batter his opponent to the

EDITORIAL
"Will T.C.S. ever win the Little Big Four Champion-
ship?" That's what they are saying. After ten long years
of hoping and waiting, people are beginning to wonder if
Ridley will ever lose its commanding position and, more
than that, will Trinity ever take its place?
We are not prepared to answer such questions, but
if these onlookers would take a second glance at the situa-
tion we can readily say that they might adopt a new atti-
tude.
First of all, it is the continual harping on Ridley's
power that forms one of the greatest obstacles to defeat-
ing them. An inferiority complex is established. Each
year, the team starts its training with a definite purpose
in mind — to win the championship; but as the term goes
on they hear nothing but Ridley, Ridley, and Ridley. By
the time the famed game is to be played, a team of twelve
sleepless, mental wrecks go out onto the field.
Secondly, there is that great demand for speed, condi-
tion and spirit. Anyone who has played any football at
all knows that these three aspects cannot be grasped at one
fell swoop. It is the organizing, the interest and the friend-
ship of a group of boys, not in their last year of the School,
but in their first, playing as a unit until they finally take
the field as a first team. This is the team that will beat
Ridley. They will be playing just another game, forgetful
of the reputation they oppose. They will be the winners
50 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
of the Little Big Four. We are unable to say whether il
is T.C.S., U.C.C. or St. Andrew's who will be the first to up-
set Ridley. But it is undoubtedly the one who shows the
most spirit and drive, with each individual playing with a
smile on his face. Our hats go off to Ridley who has suc-
ceeded in doing this for many years.
As another season rolls around we have tried to mould
together a squad which best suits these said conditions. It
appears that the spirit of last year's Bigside squad has been
inherited to the fullest extent by the boys on the team. It
IS with this spirit that we hope Trinity will prove to be a
definite stumbling block to all teams in the Little Big Four.
Already, five first team games have been played ; three have
been won, one tied and one lost. The first Little Big Four
tilt was tied with St. Andrew's, and this result gives us a
hopeful outlook on the remaining games. Huycke i has
been elected Captain, with Mclntyre i and Sinclair co- Vice-
Cap tains.
Middleside is entered in the C.O.S.S.A. Junior league
and has played four games to date. Three have been won
and one lost. It is on the assumption that teams are at
last being created on Middleside and Littleside, and are ad-
vancing as well formed groups, that we say the future looks
bright for many years. O'Grady has been elected Captain,
and Curtis Vice-Captain.
Littleside is made up of some very promising new boys
and a number of last year's members. A strong combina-
tion might develop, and another first rate team be in the
making. Payne has been elected Captain and Goodbody
Vice-Captain.
More games are scheduled in Soccer than ever before.
School games are being carried on as usual and many games
are being played with some crack Air Force teams. Cox i
has been elected Captain and Barber Vice-Captain.
Work in the gym. has been almost totally confined to
new boys. Members of last year's Eight have been assist-
ing, however, and mention of a Little Big Four meet some-
time this year has been made. O'Grady has been elected
Captain and Gibson ii Vice-Captain.

SCHOOL, vs. PICKERING COLLEGE
At Toronto, b;e!rU'ml>er 30
In their first game of the season, a hard fighting T.C.S.
team defeated a heavier Pickering College squad 11-7. Al-
though marred by frequent penalties, the game was well
played, with the School having the edge by virtue of their
steady drive and fight.
T.C.S. kicked off deep into enemy territory. Pickering
gradually worked their way up the field by a series of long
kicks by Rob, until in the early minutes of the game, they
held the ball on the School's forty yard line. They bucked
to the four yard line on a beautiful play, but were stopped
by a hard-charging T.C.S. line. Huycke recovered a fum-
ble two yards out and immediately kicked out of danger.
In two plays, however, Pickering was back inside the ten
yard line, and finally Budgeon bucked over for the touch-
down. The convert failed. The rest of the quarter de-
veloped mainly into a kicking duel between Huycke and
Rob.
The School opened the second quarter with a deter-
mined drive and this time they were not to be denied. A
first down, a recovered fumble and a blocked kick put them
well inside the Pickering end zone. A beautiful pass from
Huycke to Lambert put the ball on the eight yard line.
Richardson then carried it over on a well executed end run,
to tie it up. The attempted convert failed. Pickering
threatened again when they recovered a fumble in T.C.S.
territory, but the School fought hard and held them out.
An attempted field goal failed. Sinclair and Richardson
ran back Rob's good kick and brought the ball out of dan-
ger. The half ended before either team could get started
again.
Pickering picked up another point on a rouge from the
opening kick-off of the second half. They threatened again
when they recovered a fumble on the T.C.S. sixteen yard
line, but were held with no gain. A rouge was called back
on a penalty, so the score remained 6-5.
The School then started another drive with Huycke
bucking for two successive first downs. Here they were
stopped, but a good kick put Pickering back in their own
52 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
territory. After an exchange of kicks, Sinclair ran back
to the Pickering forty yard line. A first down on bucks
and a long pass, Huycke to Lambert, put the ball on the
three yard line. Two bucks were stopped but another pass
from Huycke to Lambert clicked for a second touchdown.
Decker made the convert good and T.C.S. led 11-6. Play
see-sawed back and forth with the School having a slight
edge. Although they recovered a fumble, they were held,
and a field goal failed. After an exchange of kicks, Mc-
Murrich intercepted a Pickering pass and ran to the twenty
yard line. Again Pickering beat off the attack, and an-
other field goal failed. Pickering got one more point on a
rouge kicked by Rob but from then on they were held in
their attempt for another touchdown.
Rob was the outstanding player for Pickering, his
kicking saving the day many times, and his bucking gain-
ing many yards. For the School, the line as a whole play-
ed well, while Richardson and Huycke were best in the
backfield.

SCHOOL vs. PETEKBOROUGH
At Port Hoj)*', OctobtT 4
On Wednesday, October 4, T.C.S. won their second
game in two starts. Although handicapped by the absence
of six of the starting line-up, a fighting Trinity team down-
ed Peterborough Collegiate, 19-0. Capitalizing on fumbles
and superior kicking, the School had the edge on the play
throughout the game.
T.C.S. kicked off, and managed to keep Peterborough
well back in their own end, forcing them to kick. The
School were unable to gain, and Lambert kicked to the
Peterborough five where a bad snap to Sisson resulted in a
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 53
safety-touch. Peterborough ran the ball to centre-field,
where they were held, and the quarter ended with an ex-
change of kicks and the score at 2-0.
At the start of the second quarter, Dobell intercepted
a pass and went to the Peterborough thirty-five, where a
Huycke to Lambert pass, put the School in scoring posi-
tion, but Peterborough held, and Huycke kicked a single.
Trinity then recovered a fumble and a Huycke-Richardson-
Dobell end run went thirty yards to the Peterborough ten.
Richardson scored on an end run and Sinclair converted to
make the score 9-0.
Peterborough kicked off, and forced the School to kick
from their own forty-five. Dobell then recovered another
fumble and ran sixty yards for the second touchdown. Sin-
clair failed to convert and at half time the score stood 14-0.
The School kicked off to start the second half and, due
to another fumble, got the ball on their forty-five where a
Sinclair to Mclntyre pass drove into scoring territory — but
Peterborough held. Sinclair then intercepted a pass, but
Peterborough repeated the performance and kicked to the
forty. An end run to the twenty, and a Sinclair to Lam-
bert pass for a major, ended the scoring as an attempted
field goal failed.
In the final quarter, the play was fairly even, Peter-
borough's numerous passes failing, and the School defend-
ing their lead with excellent kicking until the final whistle.
For the School, Lambert, Sinclair and Dobell combined
to respectively kick, pass and run their way through a
slightly disorganized Peterborough squad, while De la
Plante, Mathews, Sisson and Brown were the pick of the
losers.

SCHOOL vs. OLD BOYS
At Port Hope, October 9
In the annual game against the Old Boys, the School
showed plenty of drive and spirit to down them 17-2 for
their third straight win. The Old Boys team, a majority
of whom were old first team colours, had one of the best
teams in many years, but the all-round play of T.C.S.
proved superior.
The Old Boys kicked off and, after several exchanges
of kicks, they intercepted a pass in School territory. After
bucking for a first down, Macdonald quick-kicked to Sin-
clair who was tackled behind his own line to give the Old
Boys a 1-0 lead. Two good kicks by Huycke put the Old
Boys on their own twenty-five where Lambert set up the
first touchdown by recovering a fumble. A lovely pass
from Huycke to Lambert was completed for a major score.
The convert failed. After the kick-off, the Old Boys got a
first down on a pass. Huycke intercepted a second Old
Boys' pass on his own thirty as the quarter ended.
Play remained in centre field until the Old Boys re-
covered their own kick on a fumble and held the ball on
the School's thirty. Macdonald then kicked another rouge
for the Old Boys' second point.
The School constantly gained ground on Huycke's
good kicks and the running of Sinclair and Richardson.
With a short time left in the first half, the School took
possession at mid-field. Richardson circled the short end
for a first down, and two long passes from Huycke to Do-
bell put the ball on the four yard line. The Old Boys' re-
sistance then strengthened; two passes were knocked down,
and a buck was stopped. The half ended with the score
still 5-2.
Play see-sawed back and forth in the third quarter,
with both teams missing many chances to score, until
Huycke intercepted an Old Boys' pass. Two passes, Sin-
clair to French, and Huycke to Toole, put the ball on the
four yard line, and from there Huycke bucked over for the
School's second touchdown. Decker converted to make the
score 11-2.
In the last quarter both teams opened up with passes.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 55
but interceptions counteracted these, and neither team
was able to score. It was not until late in the game, when
Vernon recovered a fumble, that the School scored again.
A long pass, Huycke to Lambert, put the ball in scoring
position, and then Richardson carried it over on a forty
yard end run. Decker converted to make the score 17-2.
The Old Boys made a last attempt to score, but two long
passes were incompleted, and they were forced to kick.
For the School, Sinclair and Huycke were the best in
the backfield, while Mclntyre and Wade starred in the line.
Beament and Britton were best for the Old Boys, with the
former's line work outstanding and the latter's bucking
gaining many yards. Stalwarts helping the Old Boys from
last year and the year before were the Headmaster, Jim
Kerr from the team of '37 and Lieut. Pete Armour, R.C.N.
V.R., back on leave. The Headmaster made a costly fumble
before redeeming himself in the dying moments of the game
by a beautiful interception and run. He was heard to say
that he "is going to hang up his boots, now".
T.C.S. — Sinclair, Mclntyre, Lambert, Decker, Richardson, Wade,
Warner, Gillan, Greenwood, Vernon, Dobell, Wilson, Roenisch, Mc-
Murrich, Stokes, Grieg, Allen, French, Toole, Howard, Robson.
Old Boys — Southey (Capt.), LeSueur, Macdonald, Britton, Saiin-
derson, Kerr, Delahaye, Holton, Begunent, MacLaren, Dave Morgan,
Curtis, the Headmaster, Wight, Pete Armour, Ingham.
SCHOOL vs. U.T.S.
At Toronto, October 13
The School had its three game winning streak snapped,
when they lost their fourth contest by a 16-12 margin.
Taking advantage of costly T.C.S. errors, the U.T.S. men
scored three unconverted touchdowns before the School
could collect a major score. Behind 5-1 at half time, the
School had numerous chances to score but were turned back
by a hard-charging line. Although the game was lost, the
team showed much improvement and came from the short
end of a 15-1 score late in the second half to fall just short
of their mark. T.C.S. collected seventeen first downs to
seven by U.T.S.
T.C.S. kicked off and held the play well in the U.T.S.
56 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
end until half-way through the first quarter when a Trinity
pass was intercepted, A quick Crawford to Maxwell pass
put U.T.S. into T.C.S. territory, and they stayed there until
they were forced to kick. Lambert's short kick from his
goal line gave U.T.S. their first break and Graham romped
around a dazed Trinity team for their first touch.
The second quarter was all T.C.S. From the start
they threatened, to be rewarded by a rouge on one of
Huycke's kicks. Soon after, by showing a strong end nm,
Trinity was in possession on the U.T.S. one yard line but
failed in three attempts to bang it over. The score stood
5-1 at the end of the half.
Early in the second half Doll picked up a T.C.S. fumble
and ran the remaining distance untouched, to score the
second U.T.S. touchdown. Not many minutes later Max-
well kicked a high spiral into School territory. Huycke's
return was blocked, and Crawford ploughed through centre
for another major score. U.T.S. led 15-1.
Coming back heavily witth a tremendous end run that
netted 160 yards in seventeen calls, T.C.S. finally started
to roll, and Decker charged across the U.T.S. line for an
unconverted score. Receiving the kick-off, the School con-
tinued to drive and in twelve plays McMurrich had circled
the short end for another T.C.S. touchdown. Decker con-
verted. From then on it was strictly a kicking and passing
game until Sinclair was eventually rouged on Maxwell's
quick kick in the closing minutes of the game.
Picking individual stars in this game would be im-
possible. U.T.S. never missed a chance that came their
way. They completed seven out of eleven passes and Max-
well's kicking had our halves guessing right up to the final
whistle. For Trinity there were no individual standouts.
The line played "heads up" football all day, and the end
nmning of the backs was brilliant. Coming back late in
the game to almost score the knockout punch, T.C.S. show-
ed a team which should carry its weight well in the Little
Big Four tilts to come.
T.C.S. — Huycke, P. Mclntyre, Sinclair, Lambert, Decker, Wade,

T.C.S. vs. S.A.C.
At Port Hope, October 21
In their opening Little Big Four encounter, T.C.S. held
a powerful S.A.C. team to a 5-5 deadlock in a hard-fighting
game. Although S.A.C. was much heavier, the superior
drive and tackling of the School kept them in check.
From the opening whistle, both teams were fighting
hard, but over-anxiousness caused frequent fumbles in the
first period. Neither team capitalized on them, however,
and the play was fairly even until Dobell kicked a fumbled
S.A.C. snap to the thirty yard line and recovered it. After
one first down, the S.A.C. line held, but a beautiful kick by
Huycke drew first blood for T.C.S. Saylor of S.A.C. inter-
cepted a T.C.S. lateral and ran to the fifteen yard line be-
fore he was nabbed from behind by Decker. S.A.C. at-
tempted to tie it up, but a penalty called their rouge back
and it was the School's ball.
Because of many S.A.C. fumbles the School stayed in
S.A.C. territory throughout the second quarter, and Huycke
picked up three more points by virtue of sensational kick-
ing. T.C.S. led at half-time, 4-0.
Both teams started fast in the second half and kept
the fighting pace up all the way. The School "got the
drop" thanks to a long kick-off and kept it in S.A.C. terri-
tory, but were held out from scoring by the good line work
of Saint Andrew's and the running of their backs. Time
and again T.C.S. was in scoring position but were balked.
Slowly, S.A.C. worked their way out and early in the fourth
quarter held the ball at mid-field, after a long run by Ken-
nedy and a completed pass which was good for a first down.
Then Middleton carried the ball over on a thirty yard re-
verse end run. The convert failed and the score was 5-4.
From then on it was all T.C.S. The School got the
ball on the kick-off because of illegal blocking. They drove
in deep, but a penalty gave S.A.C. the ball. Warner re-
58 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
covered a fumble on the fifteen yard line and Huycke kick-
ed the equalizer. Again and again T.C.S. tried for the
winning point, but good running by the St. Andrew's backs
brought the ball out from the goal-line and there was no
further scoring.
Huycke's kicking was the outstanding feature of the
game, gaining all five points for the School. Richardson's
running and Wade's and Mclntyre's tackling also stood out,
although the whole team played well. For S.A.C., Robin-
son starred on the line and Shortly and Kennedy were good
in the backfield.

MIDDLESIDE
SCHOOL vs. PETERBOROUGH
At Port Hope, October 4
This was the first game of the season for Middleside
and they started off with a triumph of 14-0 over Peter-
borough Juniors. T.C.S. kicked off and soon had possession
at centre. From there they marched up the field to Peter-
borough's two yard line, where Curtis kicked a single. Led
by Doughty, Peterborough began to press. But, due to the
excellent work by the line, Middleside reached Peter-
borough's five yard line, where Curtis kicked another single.
In the second quarter, Peterborough made a twenty yard
gain on a long pass, but exceptional running by Bowles and
strong tackling on the line brought T.C.S. back to Peter-
borough's two yard line. Again Curtis clicked, this time
on a buck for a major score.. He also converted to make
the score 8-0.
In the third quarter a very strong line, coupled with
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 59
the excellent rimning of Lawson, Curtis and Bowles,
brought the School deep into enemy territory. Here Cur-
tis kicked for one point. In the fourth quarter O'Grady,
carrying the ball on an end run, made a sensational gain
of thirty yards, which left the School just four yards from
a scoring position. Curtis smashed through centre for a
touchdown. This ended the scoring at 14-0 for the School.
Curtis, Bowles and O'Grady stood out for the School,
while Doughty and Green were the best for the losers.

SCHOOL vs. PORT HOPE
At Port Hope, October 11
In its second game of the season, Middleside lost a
hard-fought battle to Port Hope by a score of 22-6. T.C.S.
kicked off and although they did not get the ball for some
time, they marched right down the field until Lawson buck-
ed over for an unconverted touchdown. Soon after. Watts
of P.H.S. circled the long side end for a converted touch-
down, making the score 6-5. In the second quarter, Curtis
kicked a rouge to tie the score, but Port Hope sent Watts
over for another touchdown to make it 11-6.
During the next quarter, it was doubtful whether the
School could stop Port Hope's end runs or not; however,
they held successfully. In the opening minutes of the
fourth quarter, Leese of Port Hope fell on a fumble for a
touchdown which was unconverted, giving Port Hope the
lead 16-6. The score remained thus until the last play of
the game, when Port Hope completed a sensational pass
play with Watts carrying it over for a converted touch-
down, making the final score 22-6.
O'Grady, Curtis and Grier were outstanding for the
School, while Watts, Biset and Austin starred for P.H.S.

SCHOOL vs. LAKEFIELD
At Lakefield, October 14
In Middleside's first exhibition game against Lakefield
the School came out on top in a very undecided game, 15-7.
Winning the choice, T.C.S. kicked off and started well by
holding the Grove to a loss on their first three downs. The
School then marched down the field and Curtis kicked a
single, giving T.C.S. a 1-0 lead at the end of the first
quarter,
Lakefield put on a powerful drive to push T.C.S. back
for a safety touch but soon after the Grove fumbled and
Bird recovered the ball. Curtis kicked a field goal which
gave the School the lead once more. Just before the whistle
went to end the first half, Curtis kicked for another point,
making it 5-2 for Trinity.
Lakefield kicked off, recovered the kick, and with a
burst of power, marched down the field until Smart bucked
over for a touchdown which was not converted. The Grove
led 7-5. There was no more scoring this quarter. As the
game was drawing to a close, Hawke fell on a fumble be-
hind the Grove's line to score a touchdown. The convert
failed. Finishing in a blaze of glory, Curtis smashed
through centre to score a touchdown, giving T.C.S. the
game, 17-5.
O'Grady, French and Hawke starred for the School,
while Reave's kicking and Smart's bucking showed up well
for Lakefield.

LITTLESIDE
SCHOOL vs. LAKEFIELD
At Lakefield, October 18
Littleside's first game proved to be a one-sided affair
in which a more experienced squad defeated the Grove 37-0.
Showing a very strong passing attack, the School was
superior throughout.
In the early minutes of the game, a Rogers to Wells
pass was completed for a touchdown. The convert failed.
Five minutes later Wells snagged Roger's second pass for
another T.C.S. touchdown. Payne scored Littleside's third
touch just before half-time on a quarterback sneak through
centre.
At the beginning of the second half Trinity repeated
its strategy. Two Payne to Wells passes counted six points,
and minutes later a Thompson to Wilson pass went for an-
other major score. Rogers then ran the ball over on an
end run to get five more points for Trinity. With five
minutes to go, a Payne to Thompson pass was completed
for the last T.C.S. score.

LITTLESIDE "B" vs. LAKEFIELD
At Lakefield, October 18
The sixth team won its first game by the impressive
score of 44-0. Starting very strongly, T.C.S. was never in
doubt of a victory. Whitfield picked up a Grove fumble in
the early minutes and raced over the Lakefield goal-line for
the first unconverted touchdown. Deverall plunged for two
more not many minutes later. Tessier converted his first
and McPherson the second. Whitfield scored again before
half-time to make the score 22-0. Recovering another

Lakefield fumble, Tessier made the first score of the second
half for T.C.S. Continually pressing, Whitfield added an-
other touch when he skirted the end for twenty yards. A
McPherson to Pratt pass made the convert good. Tessier
and Whitfield each made another touchdown before the
final whistle blew. McPherson converted the first.
Lakefield were very inexperienced but put up a good
fight. Ketchum played well for the losers, while Whitfield
and Pratt stood out for the School.

SOCCER
SCHOOL vs. U.C.C.
At Port Hope, September 30
In the first inter-school soccer game, T.C.S. proved to
be the superior team and downed U.C.C. 7-1. Brewer
scored the first goal for Trinity in the early minutes of the
game on a pass from Cox i. Continually pressing, the
School scored three more goals before half-time, Brewer
netting one and Dawson two. Showing a smooth passing
attack, T.C.S. made it 5-0 when Barber slipped one past the
College goaler on a lovely shot from centre. U.C.C. mus-
tered a power play and disturbed Trinity's smart combina-
tion. Peniston saved U.C.C. from being shut out when his
shot beat Ingham. The School scored again before full
time when Barber completed Dawson's pass.
Peniston and Davidson played well for U.C.C. Brewer,
Barber and Cox i were outstanding for T.C.S.

SCHOOL vs. MOUNTAIN VIEW
At Port Hope, October 4
In their first game of the season, Bigside were defeated
9-4 by a well organized Mountain View Air Force team.
Farmer broke through the Trinity defence to score the
first Air Force goal. Stopping Cox's try, Farmer scored
again not many minutes later. Barber kept T.C.S. hopes
high when he placed Conyers ii's pass behind the opposing
goaler. Dawson tied it up when he slipped another shot
into the Mountain View goal. The Air Force moved into
the lead again when Ingham, in the Trinity goal, was un-
able to stop a shot which was deflected off one of his own
men. However, T.C.S. retaliated and once again Brewer
tied it up. Then Ward put Mountain View ahead when his
shot slipped into the corner of the goal, but, not to be out-
done. Cox i once again tied the score. Now the experience
and organization of the Air Force team began to show, and
in the closing minutes Ward and Papworth each scored one,
while Farmer banged home two.
Farmer and Ward played well for Mountain View.
while Cox i. Brewer and Barber stood out for the School.

SCHOOL vs. PICTON
At Port Hope, October 11
Playing it's third game of the season, the School was
defeated by Picton R.A.F. 7-3. Whitehead scored first
for the air force on a header. Clemson and Whithead
each scored again before the School could combine its
strength. Cox i finally took Barber's pass and rang up a
well earned goal. Picton retaliated on a goal by Pickerell.
However, the School's defence tightened up and play was
very close. Whitehead broke away for his third goal
of the afternoon and the visitors seemed well on the
road to victory. But tricky playing by Cox i kept the
School well in the fight. Hilden and Wells both chalked up
64 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
counters for Picton before T.C.S., in a final splurge, rammed
in two goals on shots by Conyers ii and Hare.
Cox i and Barber played well for the School but their
efforts were held well in check by the superior Picton team.

SCHOOL vs. TRINITY COLLEGE
At Toronto, October 14
The School played the Trinity College team for the
first time in a morning game played on the Hart House
field. The game was most interesting and the result was
in doubt up to the last moment.
Bolte, the Trinity right wing, opened the scoring, but
an answer soon came from Dawson who scored with a well-
placed shot from a centre from Cox ii on the right wing.
The next score came from Burland with a ground shot from
a scrum in the School goal-mouth. Score at half-time:
Trinity College 2, T.C.S. 1.
In the second half the School settled down and a very
equal struggle ensued. Barber soon scored the equalizing
goal with a shot from a loose ball close to the goal-mouth.
The College fought back but were held and, shortly before
full time, Barber gave a fast pass to Cox i on the right
wing who centred to Brewer, the latter scoring with a
header.
Final score: T.C.S. 3, Trinity College 2.
The College had several brilliant players — Goering,
Clarkson, Carter and Bolte — but lacked the combination of
the School side on which Cox i, Butterfield i. Barber and
Brewer played well.
Trinity College — Awde, Gilbert, Hillbom, Klrkwood, Burland

MIDDLESIDE
SCHOOL vs. UPPER CANADA COLLEGE
At Port Hope, September 30
In Middleside's first game, U.C.C. turned them down
1-0. Proving to be a little slow on the attack, the School
was heavily pressed. Morganstein led many thrusts on
the T.C.S. goal, but Ligertwood kicked out some very nice
shots. Gibbons scored the lone goal of the game when
he placed his shot in the comer of the T.C.S. goal. Trinity's
final attempt to tie it up was checked, and there was no
further score.

you something about the J.S. then and now.
This year's New Boys look like a very promising crop
and we wish them all a very happy and useful time in the
School. Our best wishes go with our Old Boys as they
start their life in the Senior School. The showing they
made in the New Boys' race was first-rate and they are to
be congratulated on it.
We welcome Mr. Swallow and Mr. Morris to our Staff
and hope that their time with us will be a happy one.
Our sincere thanks to Mr. Peters for his kind gift of
two new rugby balls and also to Lieut.-Colonel Anthony
for his contribution of a number of books to the Library.
Our annual Fall picnic at Sylvan Glen was a great

the prospects look bright for a fairly strong side.
SCHOOL vs. UPPER CANADA COLLEGE
At Port Hope, October 14
Both teams showed some good football during the
first half of the game and U.C.C.'s tackling was especially
good. T.C.S. showed greater strength in the line and
scored a touchdown during the first quarter on a buck by
Stratford. A forward pass from Thompson ii to Hughes
brought another touchdown in the second quarter. U.C.C.
had the best of the play in the third quarter scoring a
touchdown on an intercepted forward pass by Glassco who
made a run of fifty yards. T.C.S. came back very strongly
in the last quarter with touchdowns by Stratford and

WE ATTACK AT ONE
Approximately in the middle of England are located
two renowned institutions for the education of young
gentlemen. These two schools are situated in the in-
dividual towns of Sudbury-on-the-Puddle and Gooseberry-
on-the-Marsh, and are about half a mile apart. Their
names are Southgate and Farthington.
These schools are bitter enemies in everything they
do. Each looks for any excuse to get back at the other.
On this fact is based our story.
This epistle concerns the head prefect and prefects of
Southgate.
* * * * *
On this night of June ninth great things are afoot in
Southgate. In the prefects' study there is a secret con-
ference going on among three worthies. The head prefect,
William Ford-Smith, is speaking. "We've only a few more
days to get back at Farthington for pinching our rugger
equipment" — "Hear! Hear!" agrees John Franklin, second
school prefect. — "Ditto" echoes Bill Whitley, next in rank.
"I think this calls for drastic action" says Hammersby,
"and here is my plan
Half an hour later the trio emerge from the study
grinning in fiendish anticipation.
* # • • *
At one o'clock that night, if any one had been awake,
they would have seen stealthy figures, three in number,
carrying ropes and stealing across the quad. Hammersby,
who had been practising lassoeing, threw a rope which
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 69
caught on to the wall surrounding the school. This piece
of strategy enabled them to surmount this obstruction.
They then stole through Sudbury-on-the-Puddle and
went down the highway to Gooseberry-on-the-Marsh. In
their progress they crossed a bridge which spanned the
great and mighty river Tumbleweed. One thousand six
hundred and fifty seven feet, eight inches and three milli-
metres later they reached the high, foreboding walls of
Farthington. Encompassing the wall they approached the
east gate. Outside this in a large, grassy plot there stood
the life-sized statue of the founder of Farthington — The
Most Reverend Doctor J. E. Tiddlesby, PhD., M.A., B.A.
This they proceeded to dismount by means of ropes, from
its foundation, and dragged it to the bridge. With much
puffing and blowing they toppled it into thirty feet of water
and ran.
Next morning there was much commotion in Farthing-
ton. Nobody knew what happened to the statue. And this,
dear readers, ends the story, until just lately when three
anonymous gentlemen sent a large benefit fund to the
school of Farthington in recompense.

ENGLISHMAN'S MICKEY
The scene opens on a verandah of an English manor.
Two Englishmen are having tea. We hear one of them
say:
"Lovely day, old sock" — "Simply divine", the other
answers.
"Have a good polo game?" — "Superb! old cake."
"Good"— "Very exciting."
"Rathah" — "Have another spot of tea. old bean".
"Please".— "Oh deah! Theah isn't any left and all that
sort of rot. Wait a minute and I'll get some."
"All right".
As the elderly gent left the room the other man looked
stealthily around as if to make sure no one was listening
or watching. Quickly he reached in his pocket and pulled
70 TRINITY COTiT.KGE SCHOOL RECORD
out a small envelope. He emptied the contents of it, which
consisted of two pills, into the other's tea. Immediately he
sat down hurriedly and heaved a heavy sigh of relief be-
cause just then the other man returned and said:
"Heahs youah tea, old pip." — "Thanks a lot".
"Lovely day, old chap".— "Rathah".
"Good polo game, eh?" — "Decidedly and all that sort
of rot."
This sort of talk carried on for about ten minutes un-
til the man who had put the tablets in the other's tea said:
"Ah you feeling all right and all that sort of thing". —
"Quite, old fruit".
"Ah you suah?"— "Rathah, old chap. Why?" '
"Ah you perfectly suah?" — "Yes, but why, old cake?"
"Oh, you know when you got the hit on the head with
the polo ball; well, I put two aspirins in your tea, because
I thought you might have a headache".

A JAPANESE BOMB
My life, as far as I can remember, began when I was
being dug out from a mine in Japan. After they dug me
out of the earth they loaded me in a train and I was sent
to a factory in Tokio, where I was put into a great furnace
and molded into the shape of a bomb. After that I was
sent down the line and had the charge put into me. Then
they put the dynamite in and put a cap on the top of me.
I was shipped to an aircraft carrier, where I saw a
great many Japanese soldiers and sailors. Then I was put
into the hold with many other bombs. One day as the cap-
tain was inspecting the hold, I overheard him say that this
aircraft carrier was going to take part in a raid on Pearl
Harbour on December 7th, 1942.
On December the 6th., 1942, we were loaded into the
bomb racks and we took off in the early evenmg for Pearl
Harbour. We reached Pearl Harbour at three o'clock in
the morning. As soon as they got over Pearl Harbour they
dropped us. I was released on an American destroyer
named the "Freedom" and I blew the bow of the destroyer

HONOURS
Brigadier J. G. (Jock) Spragge ('18-'24), 0.B:E., was
awarded the D.S.O. for gallantry in the invasion of France.
The investiture was held on October 13 in the open at the
headquarters of the First Canadian Army in Belgium and
Holland, and the decoration was presented by His Majesty
the King.
Full details of the citation have not been received, but
we do know that Jock commanded the Queen's Own Rifles
during the invasion of France, leading them through the
struggles on the Caen perimeter and at Carpiquet. Since
then he has commanded a brigade which has fought at
Calais and elsewhere. Many letters from Old Boys men-
tion the magnificent work he has been doing and the great
respect in which he is held by those serving with and under
him.
Chaplain and Hon. Captain R. T. F. Brain ('23-'26),
who has been serving with the S. D. & G. Highlanders, has
been awarded the Military Cross for gallantry during the
invasion of France. The citation reads: "At Les Buissons
from D-day to D plus 4, Captain Brain was indefatigable
in carrying out his duties. He attended the casualties
around the Regimental Aid Post and in the open while
under fire. He was wounded himself, but carried on coolly
and courageously for another day. His wound then pre-
vented him from carrying on, and he was evacuated." Our
congratulations, and we trust he has fully recovered.
74 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Wing Commander Dal Russel ('26-'34) has added yet
another distinction to his impressive career in the Air
Force. He has now been awarded the Distinguished Ser-
vice Order for his outstanding service on the continent.
One of the first three Canadians to be awarded the
D.F.C. in this war, the first citation reads that he "has per-
sonally destroyed five enemy aircraft and has assisted in
the destruction of a sixth. He has shown great keenness
to attack the enemy". This was during the Battle of Bri-
tain.
Dal returned to Canada in March, 1941, and was pro-
moted to Flight Lieutenant while instructor on the East
Coast. Posted to Ottawa, he was promoted to Squadron
Leader, and later took a squadron to Vancouver.
He returned overseas in December, 1942, was promoted
to Wing Commander during the following summer, and re-
ceived a Bar to his D.F.C. in November. The citation read
"Since April, 1943, this officer as wing leader has led his
wing on a large number of escort sorties without the loss
of a single bomber to enemy fighters. The high praise
earned by the wing for its skill is largely due to the great
devotion to duty and ability displayed by Wing Cmdr. Rus-
sel".
On D-day, Dal took a demotion to Squadron Leader in
order to take part in the invasion, and flew with Hugh
under Wing Cmdr. Johnny Johnson. He was later the first
Canadian to come down on the Allies' first operational air
field in France. Last August, he was again promoted to
Wing Commander, and is credited with one of the highest
scores in enemy planes since D-day.
Recognition of his service came again when he was
recently awarded "an immediate" D.S.O. for his "masterly
leadership, sound judgment and fine fighting qualities".
Dal was chosen a short time ago as Man of the Week
by the Montreal "Standard", and the write-up reminds us
of the many episodes concerning him while at School. Our
sincere congratulations to him on his successes.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 75
Ken Bevan ('32-'35), Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air
Corps, was awarded the Air Medal with three Oak Leaf
Clusters and the Distinguished Flying Cross for "extra-
ordinary achievement" during bombing attacks on enemy
war industries and war installations in Germany and the
occupied countries. The awards were made last Spring
and, as yet, we are imable to record the complete citation.
Since then, Ken has been detailed for some special assign-
ment.

The citation covering the D.F.C. awarded to Wing
Commander Roy McLemon ('33-'37) on June 13, 1944,
credits him with "skill, gallantry and resolution" in many
sorties over enemy occupied territory and over the waters
of the English Channel and the North Sea. His leadership
has largely "contributed to the success of his squadron".
« « * • •
Lieutenant Dick Wright ('30-'32), R.C.N.V.R., was
presented with his D.S.C. a short time ago by Capt. Paul
W. Earl, naval officer in charge of the port of Montreal.
The award was won for "conspicuous gallantry and leader-
ship" in action in the Mediterranean, when H.M.C.S. Louis-
burg was sunk.
Dick, who lost his left eye in the action, has left the
service, and is studying at McGill, living in the Zeta Psi
fraternity house.
PRISONER OF WAR
Some news has been received concerning the action in
which Lieut. Pat Osier ('26-'34), P.P.C.L.I., was taken pri-
soner. It was part of the assault on the Hitler line in Italy,
76 TRINITY COIXrEGE SCHOOL RECORD
and Pat's section launched their attack at six in the morn-
ing on May 23. There was a heavy ground fog and visi-
bility was only about thirty yards. Wire obstacles were
breached after a 1200 yard advance and the platoons got
through to the line itself, but visual contact was lost with
Pat's platoon.
A fellow officer writes that "he is an exceptionally fine
soldier, and represents a loss to our regiment. I, on my
part, feel I have been deprived of a valuable friendship".
MISSING
No word has been received as to the safety of the fol-
lowing Old Boys, previously reported missing:
Flight Lieutenant Will Black ('31-'37), A.F.C., missing
in June after crashing in Normandy;
Flight Lieutenant Alan Byers ('28-'31), missing early
in June after flying operations off the East coast;
Flying Officer Ian Croll ('21-'27), missing in June fol-
lowing an air raid over enemy territory;
Squadron Leader Maurice Gibson ('25-'30), missing
February 8 after operations over the coast of France;
Flight Lieutenant Hugh McAvity ('36-'40), missing
February 10 after air operations overseas;
Sergt. Air Gunner A. B. Moore ('37-'42), missing early
in May after air operations overseas;
Flight Lieutenant Hugh Russel ('33-'39), missing
early in June after air operations over France.

We were all deeply sorry to learn that more Old Boys
are now missing:
Lieutenant Tommy Alexander ('36-'39), M.B.E.. has
been reported missing in action on the Western Front.
Squadron Leader J. R. Grant ('30-'32) has been miss-
ing for some time after air operations with the R.A.F.
Lieutenant Tom King('28-'31), Kent Regiment (M.G.),
was reported missing in action on the Western Front early
in October.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 77
Lieutenant Walter B. Reid ('30-'34), 48th Highlanders,
was reported missing in action on the Western Front late
in October.
Lieutenant John R. Vipond ('33-'38), Irish Regiment
of Canada, has been missing since September 8; he was on
active duty in Italy.
We sincerely hope that these Old Boys will turn up.
Maurice Gibson ('25-'30) was incorrectly listed in the
June Record as Flight Lieutenant. He had been a Squa-
dron Leader for some time when he was reported missing.
Before going overseas he instructed for three years with-
out a fatal accident amongst those under his charge, and
recent word from his Commanding Officer overseas in-
dicates that he is considered one of their most capable men.
We regret that Maurice is still reported missing.

Major A. L. MacLaurin ('22-'25), who was awarded
the Croix de Guerre after Dieppe, arrived back on the hos-
pital ship Lady Nelson on October 17. Major MacLaurin
lost a leg while leading a company of the Black Watch at
Sinandray in France.
Lieut. Blake Knox ('30-'34), the Black Watch, suffered
grenade wounds of the back and legs in Normandy on
August 12. On October 18 it was reported that he had
been wounded again.
Jim Vipond ('33-'35), R.C.A.F., fell from a truck in
England after completing fourteen operational flights. He
received a fractured skull, but wrote that it was not too
serious.
Capt. "Chuck" Lithgow ('34-'38), R.C.R., spent two
months in hospital in Italy after being wounded, and a
further period in England. He arrived home late in Sep-
tember and has now been posted to Brockville as an In-
structor.
Capt. C. W. Bunting ('25-'39), R.C.A.S.C, was report-
ed injured overseas in July.
78 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Lieut. Gordon Rawlinson ('33-'36), R.C.D., wrote on
September 28: "Nine consecutive nights I was behind enemy
hnes on night patrols. My luck was with me, but on the
morning of the 14th it was my wedding anniversary, the
Tedeschi must have found out about it because they had
a real celebration for me. We got caught in the open
about 150 yards from the enemy and they gave us the
works .... I got a couple of pieces of shrapnel in my arm
and one in my side — nothing serious." Gordon was out
of the line for a few weeks and then at a convalescent de-
pot at Salerno.
*****
We were sorry to hear that Lieut. Sandy Pearson ('36-
'40) was wounded in both legs in Normandy on July 25. He
was acting O.C. of a Company when hit, and wrote to his
father that he had "got my first Fritz with your revolver".
« * * * *
Lieut. Jim Warburton ('34-'39) was severely wounded
on July 23 in Normandy. He had shrapnel wounds in both
legs, one leg and one toe were broken, and he had a num-
ber of transfusions, but word was received in September
that he was expecting convalescent leave shortly. Hugh
Warburton ('34-'41) has had bad luck with his eye sight,
and with a low category is unable to go overseas. He was
discharged from the army in the middle of September and
is continuing his medical studies at McGill. We hope to
see him soon.
*****
Lieut. Gault Finley ('33-'40) was seriously wounded on
July 23 while serving with the Commandos as a beach-
master in Normandy. Full details are not yet available,
but as far as is known he got a shell splinter in the head,
was operated on in France and was then flown to England
while still unconscious. Later, a most hopeful letter was
received by his mother from the O.C, and since then he
has been showing steady improvement. "Skip" is having
further treatment before returning to Canada, and it is
hoped that he will soon be back. (As we go to press we
hear that he has fully recovered and is expected home for
Christmas) .

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 79
We were indeed glad to welcome back Lieut. Maynard
Bowman ('37-'40), M.C. He was looking quite fit consider-
ing the long time he has been under treatment for his
wounds. Maynard said a few words after dinner one even-
ing — we hope to see him again.
Lieut. Ian Waldie ('28-'34) was wounded by shell
fragments in France, but is now back with the Queens Own
Rifles. Ian had been with Lieut. Al Staunton ('27-'31),
and before lan's return to the Regiment Al was sent to a
Reinforcement Unit in France with a cracked ear drum and
was not expected to get back into action for some time.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
m * * * *
Capt. Marshal Cleland ('26-'30) received his discharge
from the army early in August because of injuries, and has
returned to business. Congratulations on his election as
Vice-President of the family business where he is now in
charge of production.
Lieut. G. R. Reid ('28-'30) was wounded in Normandy
on July 25. He joined the Lincoln and Welland Regiment
in 1939 and was commissioned in May, 1940. Before going
overseas in October, 1942, he was stationed at Nanaimo,
B.C. and in Newfoundland, and then transferred to the
R.H.L.I. in England.
Colin Patch ('33-'41), Lieut., 'A' Coy., 4th K.S.L.I.—
England, June 2, 1944. — "We had three weeks training in
Sussex, N.B were met by all shapes and sizes of brass
hats and they looked after us wonderfully for the short
time that we shoved around. We had a certain amount of
choice as to the unit we were to be posted to, and I ended
up Avith the 4th King's Shropshire Light Infantry. It is an
excellent battalion and the officers are a wonderful bunch
of fellows. I have a platoon . . . enjoying myself thorough-
ly and have never regretted for a minute being with a Bri-
tish battalion."
80 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
England, August 5, 1944 — "I was not in France on D-
Day but we arrived a very short while later .... I was hit
in the left foot by a machine gun bullet just five weeks
after we landed, and am now in a Canadian General Hos-
pital. My heel bone is fractured and will be in a cast for
6-8 weeks, with a period of convalescence after that — in
fact, it will be around five months before they classify me
A-1 and let me go back to Normandy as a fighting soldier,
a gloomy outlook. However, I have hopes of getting work
of some kind in the army between the time I lose my cast
until they let me go back. Incidentally, I have yet to find
a Canadian officer who wasn't happy and satisfied being
with a British battalion — perhaps it is because they are all
in France .... Rosie LeMesurier ('38-'42) was in to see
me yesterday, but apart from him, I haven't run into any
fellows from the School at all."
We have heard from a great number of Old Boys in re-
cent weeks; perhaps more than ever we feel in closer con-
tact with them and more aware of the magnificent efforts
they are making. We hope they will not mind seeing parts
of their letters in print; so many of our readers derive in-
tense interest from such first hand accounts of the war.
May there soon be a grand Victory Reunion at T.C.S.
of all our fighting Old Boys. Good luck to you all, and so
many thanks for your letters.
*****
Fred McLaren ('28-'37), Major, 48th Highlanders-
Italy, Aug. 19, 1944 — "I was not with the battalion during
the most successful operation through the Gustav and Hit-
ler lines — because I had an impacted wisdom tooth ex-
tracted, of all things .... Later I came up to our brigade
H.Q. to run an N.C.O. school, and have been doing that for
the last couple of months off and on .... I visited Salerno,
Avellion, Naples and Rome. I had previously visited Amalfi,
Sorrento and Pompeii. All these places have changed my
opinion of Italy, after trampmg through the neglected
South and up the East coast .... In Amalfi there is a lovely
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 81
Canadian hotel on the seaside rocks. The damage in Rome
is negligible."
Clarke McGlashan ('28-'36), Capt., H.Q. 1, C.C.O.D.,
—England, July 22, 1944— "I am still in England and the
Adjutant of this unit, as has been the case for the last eight
or nine months .... I have seen a good number of the Old
Boys around during the last year and a half — bumped into
Basil Southam ('28-'36), also Murray Cassils ('31-'34) of
the public relations office. Gordon Douglas ('35-'36) is at
present Company Commander in the Ordnance Reinforce-
ment Unit."
* * ^j * *
Hilliard Biggar ('21-'27), Lieut, 2, C.I.B. Coy., R.C.A.
S.C. — Italy, July 24, 1944 — "I have visited Rome several
times and taken in many historic sights. My visit to the
Vatican and audience with the Pope was most impressive
Rome is very modem in every respect and the people
are totally unlike the people one meets in the provinces and
smaller towns .... At present there seems to be an
abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables which are available
and make a pleasant change from army meals."
*****
Gordon Lucas ('34-'36), Lieut., 14 Fd. Bty., 4 Fd. Regt.,
R.C.A. — Somewhere in France, Sept. 4, 1944 — "I am in the
best of health and so far in one piece. Just came out of
the line for a rest, the first in eight weeks. It isn't much
of a rest for there is a lot of work on vehicles, guns and
equipment to be done. I am now C.P.O. of the Battery
and so have the fun of deploying it and keeping things in
order (?). During the period of rapid movement, just
passed, I have spent most of the time forward preparing
new positions. On several occasions we have been the first
troops into some towns and have received royal receptions.
Somewhere in Belgium, Sept. 11, 1944 — "Have covered
a considerable amount of ground (and water) since the
above lines were written. The weather has been tougher
than the Hun, but the pendulum is swinging — owing to
flooding we are deployed along a main highway in a small
82 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
town. The diversions are many — for instance just outside
this command post (a reinforced concrete air raid shelter
built by the square heads) there is a 'pub' with a varied
supply of liquid refreshments — it is all too convenient for
words .... The Belgians have given us a great welcome and
they shower all kinds of fruit and vegetables on us
George ('25-'29) is still at Headquarters of a holding unit
in England trying to get over but not having much luck
.... Around Caen my best friend was a lovely deep slit
trench suitably covered with corrugated iron and earth and
together we withstood many vicissitudes. In those days
the Luftwaffe was not as non-existent as the daily papers
would lead one to believe. However they are scarce now."
*****
Bm Jackson ('38-'40), Sgt., R.C.A.F.— England, Aug. 1,
1944 — "I ran into F/0 Thomson ('37-'39). He is looking
quite well, and as he has finished a tour of Ops. he is now
taking time out and instructing at an Operational Training
Unit .... I was married on June 21st of this year to a
Yorkshire girl. She is a nurse with the R.A.F." .... Bill
was promoted to the rank of Sergeant last December; he
recently returned from overseas.
*****
Lin Russel ('24-'28), Capt., 14 Fd. Regt, R.C.A.—
France, Sept. 13, 1944 — "I have had rather a varied career
since I last wrote you and my final disposition is not yet
settled! I left No. 1-C.A.R.U. on 19 June and crossed over
to France on 3 July. After kicking around for ten days
or so I was attached to this Regt. As yet I have not been
taken on strength but I still have hopes . . . Perks ('35-'38)
arrived over in England about the beginning of July ....
I have run into Capt. John Kerrigan ('29-'33), who is one
of the Troop Commanders in the Regt."
*****
Bill Black ('36-'40) P/0, R.C.A.F.— No. 2, S.F.T.S. Up-
lands, Ottawa, Sept. 2, 1944— "Art Earle ('34-'39) is over
at Carp for his month at armament flying, so will graduate
about October 29 or so ... I graduated March 24 as Pilot
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 83
Officer at Uplands and then took an Instructor's course at
Trenton and was posted back to Uplands as an Instructor
.... have been over the School several times in a Harvard
and almost wished I was back at School with all the boys."
*****
Bill Beatty ('19-'27), Major, 48th Highlanders— No. 3
C.I.R.U., England, Aug. 13, 1944.— "I went out to SicUy
with the 48th last year and was with the battalion all
through the Sicilian Campaign and on up to Ortona in Italy,
where I left to return here to England on exchange ....
We arrived in England on Feb. 10, and I was despatched
to this unit where I have been ever since, as a Company
Commander .... We have been up on the Yorkshire moors
since April .... I hear from one of the Queen's Own Coy.
Commanders, returned here wounded from Normandy, that
Ldeut.-Col. Jock Spragge is doing a wonderful job with his
unit and is a grand example to all his officers and men."
*****
Howard Patch ('35-'38), Bdr., R.C.A.— Italy, July 17,
1944 — "I do enjoy the Record though I am piqued by the
number of T.C.S. Old Boys other Old Boys are always
running into. I am sure I travel as much as many, yet can-
not brag of seeing any old friend save John Layne ('37-'40)
of the same regiment. We do run into lots of officers as
we had to calibrate the guns of the Corps and saw most
of the regimental officers; but it was a pleasant holiday
anyway as the site was the beaches of the Tyrrhenian Sea
and when our work was done we could swim in the salt
surf and laze on the wide beaches. It was just like a
summer on the Maine coast, as there were American shows
and canteens nearby, and we had a truck and the freedom
of the roads. I have travelled many miles of them now from
Cassino to Naples, from Caserta to the coast, and know
them all well. Cassino was a wrecked village, nothing but
a pile of heaped masonry, honey-combed by caves and alive
with mines and barbed wire. Even the Monastery on the
HiU-top is but a skeleton on a blasted crest .... Give my
regards to all at the School."
84 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Alastair Ferguson ('27-'35), Lieut., Royal Regt. of
Canada — Italy, Aug. 17, 1944 — "I must say Italy is con-
siderably different from what I pictured during Dr. Jef-
feris' and Bill Speechly's Latin classes long ago. I have
managed to see a good deal of the country — Naples, Rome,
Cassino, Florence, plus an interminable number of moun-
tains, vineyards, olive groves and Italians themselves. There
is nothing like foreign travel to make one appreciate the
comforts of home .... I was in England only seven weeks
— during that time I ran into Bob Keefer ('29-'36) and
Major C. H. Boulden at the Canadian Officers' Club in
Trafalgar Square, but no other T.C.S. characters. Down
here, the Old Boys I have encountered are mostly with the
48th — our next door neighbours in the First Brigade:
Charlie Seagram ('29-'36), Bill Leadbeater ('28-'34), Andy
LeMesurier ('36-'39), Fred McLaren ('28-'37) and Walter
'Stu' Reid ('30-'34). Also met 'Mickey' Dumaresq ('28-'31)
of the P.P.C.L.I., whom I hadn't seen since he left the
Junior School in 1931 .... John Baillie ('30-'33), 'Brick'
Osier ('20-'26), and Colin 'Weary' Russel ('24-'28) were
stationed at Windsor, N.S., at the same time I was last
winter waiting for the trip over .... I suppose I will run
into other lads down here eventually, and the way things
are going it looks as though we could easily have an O.B.A.
party in the Wilhelmstrasse sometime around the New
Year."
*****
Peter Stanger ('40-'41), Lieut, R.C.N.V.R.— H.M.C.S.
Magog, Aug. 16, 1944 — "I was drafted from the Brandon
to H.M.C.S. Kings, where I took a specialist navigation
course, graduating a few weeks ago and being appointed to
this ship as navigation officer .... While at Kings, I saw
Ken Scott ('40-'43) and Gay Goodall ('40-'43), both looking
very fit and doing well."
* * * « *
John Layne ('37-'40), Gnr., R.C.A.— Italy, Aug. 10,
1944 "Howard Patch ('35-'38) is in the meteor section of
this outfit. I met my old room mate, of all people, Dave
Armour ('38-'40), behind the lines on the Adriatic sector
last winter. He had just come back from his O.P., back
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 85
to the gun position. What a mud-hole it was too! . . . .
I have seen four months of action. I was still there long
after the rest of the Canadians had left, until the front
moved about June 6. Consequently I was not with the 1st
Corps when it went through the Hitler line near Cassino."
.... John is now an Artillery Surveyor with the 1st Survey
Regt.. R.C.A.. "P" Battery.
*****
Peter Armour ('38-'41), Lieut., R.C.N.V.R.— H.M.C.
M.L. 099, July 28, 1944— "We graduated from Kings in
July, 1942. and from there, I went to Shelbume where I had
various odd jobs until February of last year, when Brian
Magee ('34-'37) relieved me. I saw Ian Tate ('34-'41) in
Halifax when I was joining M.L.'s about tliat time. We
spent the summer in the gulf and saw the German family
a great deal ... I saw Arch Jones ('35-'41) quite a bit last
winter and spring. He was always after me for a game
of squash, and our keenness was only excelled by our poor
condition. An M.L. does not offer much opportunity to
keep in shape . . . .Hugh Savage ('28-'32) is an Anti-Sub-
marine Instructor here and we bump into each other all
the time. He is heading back to Halifax in the near future.
I saw Bim Waters ('36-'39) a couple of times last v/inter
about the time he came off the 'Restigouche' . . . Wherever
Bim goes, the war seems to move to that area. I ran into
Jim Coultis ('37-'39) recently and he told me news about
Tom Seagram ('34-'39) and several other fellows. The last
time I saw Tom was in Halifax in March, 1943 .... Jim
was a diver here, but he got a draft the other day and is
now a Petty Officer in the 'Chebogue'. He has taken a lot
off around the middle since 1939 .... Pat Hare ('40-'42)
and I were up to see Ian when he was in hospital after the
'Valleyfield' affair. There was a sign on the door saying
'No Visitors' so we said we were there on business and
walked in. There was Ian with his feet propped up on pil-
lows, completely surrounded by fans and bowls of ice, and
looking as happy as a lark. He was not the least disturbed
by the thought of twenty-eight days survivor's leave around
Speech Day ... I had a letter from Dave ('38-'40) last
86 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
January just about the time he went into action in Italy.
It was very interesting and very amusing about the swindles
he was working to get Mauser pistols, etc." Both Pete and
Bim were recent visitors at School, Pete playing in the Old
Boys' football game.
* « * « «
Bob Morris ('33-'44) 0/S, R.C.N.V.R.— Aug. 29, 1944—
"Halifax certainly does seem to hold its full share of Old
Boys at one time or another, I've come across five more
in the past week. Gay Goodall ('40-'43) at Kings, 'Flash'
Walcot ('37-'40) at the same place and 'Pinky' Heaton
('38-'42), 'Butch' Davidson ('37-'42), and Dave Jellett ('39-
'42), all three with a draft of 'middies' who have finished
their training at Esquimalt, and are now being posted to
various ships to fill out their training and to gain ex-
perience Dave ('30-'41) seems to be having quite a
decent time at Comwallis".
*****
Sven Svenningson ('38-'42), Lieut., R.C.N.V.R.— H.M.
S. Mauritius, Aug. 1, 1944 — "I left Canada last fall after
graduating from Kings. There were about ten T.C.S. chaps
aboard the troop ship. After spending a short time in Lon-
don I joined the ship, an 8,000 ton cruiser .... We went
out to the Mediterranean where we spent most of our time
bombarding off the Italian coast .... I saw Dave Morris
('30-'41) in Malta one evening and had dinner with him
aboard his ship .... We returned to England in the spring
.... We have lately been taking part in Normandy ....
Had the Admiral aboard and so led the bombarding squa-
dron in ahead of the landing craft. We were to protect
the Eastern flank of the British and Canadian landings by
engaging the shore batteries and any surface craft .... I
see Dick Birks ('39-'42) now and again; he is on a destroyer
in the home fleet."
Acton Fleming ('30-'35), S/L, R.A.F.— England, Aug.
16, 1944 — "During the almost two years that I was with the
Squadron we spent sixteen months of it in Scotland in, I
must say, very pleasant surroimdings .... Last November
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 87
the whole Squadron moved south .... We were at that
time taking low oblique photographs of the rocket sites in
the Pas de Calais and found it both an interesting and 'hot'
pastime! I was for a time acting CO. but found the job
exasperating as half the Squadron was on one aerodrome
and the other half some seventy miles away .... Last
March I was promoted to Squadron Leader and took over
the command of my old original in which I served at the
beginning of the war for fourteen months. I have never
been so pleased in my life .... Just after I took over we
got rid of our Mustangs and were re-equipped with Spit-
fires and the Squadron was moved south in preparation for
D-Day .... On D-Day itself I was very lucky in that I went
off on the dawn sortie at 0445 and spent forty-five minutes
over the Beachhead where I got a magnificent bird's-eye
view of our mighty armada approaching the cost of Nor-
mandy. I was singularly impressed by the visibility that
momentous morning. I had no sooner climbed to 1500 feet
after take-off than I could see the guns flashing off the
coast of Normandy about 100 miles away. So, although it
was still quite dark, all I had to do was steer for the flashes
.... I made two further trips during the day.
After about D plus 7 things from our point of view had
slackened off considerably and operational trips are a bit
scarce at the moment. However, we all get in about two
trips a week. Casualties in the Squadron have been re-
markably light considering the nature of the work. I have
only lost three chaps all of whom were shot down by flak.
Enemy fighters were scarce as hen's teeth and only a small
minority reported any action with them. I myself had a
brief tussle with six FW 190's with no claims either side.
They never stayed to fight and I found just by turning
hard that I had the upper hand. One dirty dive by you
and they were away ....
I have seen very few old boys since I last wrote. I
met Mr. Boulden in London last January and Peter Landry
('31-'39) in Yorkshire last September, and, at my present
station Symons ('38-'43) and Syd. Lambert ('34-'43). Syd.,
by the way, left here about three weeks ago to take a com-
88 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL, RECORD
mission in the Indian Army and as yet I have not heard
from him."
*****
Harry Hyndman ('35-'37), Lieut., R.C.N.— H.M.C.S.
Chaudiere, Aug. 20, 1944 — I am second in command of the
Destroyer, which used to be H.M.S. Hero, and which we
took over from the R.N. last November .... Incidentally,
U.C.C. and Lakefield are represented in our Ward Room."
« * * * *
Charlie Seagram ('29-'36) Lieut., 48th. Highlanders-
Italy, Aug. 11, 1944 — "We have already had water-melon,
cantaloupe, figs, peaches, plums, pears and apples. We can
usually get hold of some wine so the times that we go
hungry are very few and far between. For a time we had
com off the cob almost every meal. At this particular
time we are getting our fill of tomatoes .... Have not seen
many T.C.S. lads lately, but about six weeks ago I ran into
Cam. Osier ('29-'37) in the Orange Grove in Naples. I see
Al Ferguson ('27-'35) regularly now that he is with the
R.C.R. He has not changed a bit; his sharp wit never re-
laxes for a minute. BUI Leadbeater ('28-'34), Stu Reid
('30-'34) and myself are the only T.C.S. Old Boys with the
Regt. at present. Fred McLaren ('28-'37) and Andy Le-
Mesurier ('36-'39) are awaiting a vacancy."
*-****
Lieut. R. G. Glover (Master), Intelligence — France,
Aug. 8, 1944— "When I left T.C.S. Ted Parker ('38-'44) had
been one year in Bethune House and Millward ('39-'44) had
just come up from the J.S. with the reputation of a bud-
ding genius — very good to know he has continued first
class .... Recently I've read Wavell's 'Life of Allenby',
and Admiral Sir Wm. James' 'Life of Admiral Sir Wm.
Fisher'. Both those men were, of course, first class in their
respective services — and both classical scholars of merit.
Allenby could give the original of an Aeschylus quotation.
Fisher could converse and correspond successfully in Latin
with a Jugoslav bishop with whom he had no other com-
mon language. No accident either; just another bit of
evidence of the value of classics as a mental training . . : .
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 89
Another first class mental exercise, to which the army has
introduced me, is the writing of appreciations — the weigh-
ing of the rival merits of different courses of action. I'd
like to see that included in the English curriculum
Normandy is very dry. The Boche appears to have
done nil to keep the roads in order, and every convoy ad-
vertises itself by raising a great fog of dust. That is one's
first impression. The second is the excellence of the crops,
splendid weedless fields, heavy heads of grain on the wheat,
much of it sadly going to waste — labour to gather in the
harvest is lacking; and some fields are still mined. On the
other hand there are a lot of dummy mine fields. The story
is that about a fortnight before D-Day Rommel came round
on an inspection of coastal defences, and keen commanders,
eager for good reports, strung out yards of wire and put up
dozens of signs in areas where not a mine existed, for
eyewash for the C-in-C."

Desmond Magee ('34-'35), Major, 14th Cdn. Fd. Coy.,
R.C.E. — Italy, Aug. 15, 1944 — "I have been out here since
January, so was not in the French invasion .... One ap-
preciates in times like these what good lessons one learns
in schools like T.C.S. How to give and not to expect the
world to give you a living, but above all the comradeship
of men. I know that there are many critics of the English
public school system who would like to see it done away
with after the war. I feel that these schools fill a vital
part of our communal and national life. Fortunate in-
deed are those privileged to go to them because they learn
something that cannot be found in high schools. I hope
you will put my small son (aged one) down for T.C.S. for
about 1955! .... I have been on the staff for the last two
years, but have just returned for a spell of regimental duty.
My last job was B.M. of an infantry Brigade. George
Renison ('33-'38) had a miraculous escape when the jeep
he was travelling in ran over a mine. He was sitting on
the seat nearest the mine. The three other passengers
were killed instantly and George was blown about thirty
feet into the air. However, apart from broken ear drums,
90 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
shock and three nasty cuts he was all right and I saw him
up and about a month later, perfectly recovered and cheer-
ful as ever .... I saw Fred McLaren ('28-'37) a few days
ago. He was rumoured to have been killed at the Hitler
line, but I'm glad to say it was completely untrue and he
'i perfectly well .... Bobs Osier ('21-'29) was one of my
C.O.'s in England. My wife and children are still in Eng-
land.

John Campbell ('22-'27), Lieut., R.C.O.C— Italy, Aug.
11, 1944 — "Italy appears to be a combination of Progress,
the Dark Ages, Beauty and Dirt! To say nothing of Mud
and Dust! .... I've run into quite a few T.C.S. lads —
Lawren Harris ('26-'29), who has painted some very fine
pictures, especially of the Cassino area, and Con Harring-
ton ('26-'30), who was doing observation work for the
Artillery, stayed with me one night and we had a grand
session. Unfortunately I missed Bill Beatty ('19-'27) and
Dave Thompson ('21-'28) by just a few days. They were
both room-mates of mine and I haven't seen them for some
time .... Pat ('17-' 19; Group Capt.) has transferred to
the R.A.F. and now has his family in England. I think
he has a Bomber Station .... By the way, are you turning
out better writers now than they did back in the Twenties?

Harry Price (1929), Major, R.C.R.— Sept. 16, 1944—
"It is nice to think that the Old School is watching with
keen interest the events of its Old Boys and is in there
cheering them on. I can say that our thoughts often
wander back to the School and the good old times spent
there. Some of us used to laugh when people told us we
would look back on our school days as being the happiest
days of one's life — one has to live to appreciate those re-
marks. Sometimes I wonder if the nucleus of the Cana-
dian Army is made up of Old Boys. They seem to be
everywhere and one runs into them continually .... Art
Smith ('16-'20) is living in the same house as I am at the
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 91
present moment. Have seen a lot of him in the past year
and a half .... Have just heard that Jock Spragge ('18-
'24) has been promoted Brigadier. He certainly deserves
it. He did an excellent job with the Queen's Own. Am
just off to pay a visit to John Cape ('24-'26) .... The best

year and will be awaiting the next issue of the Record
anxiously."

R. E. McLaren ('21-'25) Major, R.H.L.I. — Toronto,
August 26, 1944 — "I was extremely lucky to be repatriated.
At the time the Swiss Commission came around my hand
was almost entirely useless, but since then it has made a
rapid recovery. In fact if I didn't wear a wound stripe most
people would not think anything was wrong. One of the
first things I read on returning here was the good old
"Record" .... I bumped into Norm. Phipps ('21-'25) here
about a month ago. He was just leaving to go back again
after completing the Staff Course. Bill Cummings ('21-
'25) comes in nearly every day on his rounds as Assistant
D.S. & T.O. at the depot here .... At the present moment
I am working at the District Depot, but I am hoping soon
to get a job at Ottawa .... in the department which looks
after our prisoners of war in Germany. While in Ger-
many I spent most of my time in hospitals and as our boys
were continually coming and going from them I was able
to keep in touch with those in our area."

Harold Martin ('20-'26), M.C., Capt, R.C. A.— France,
Sept. 4, 1944 — "Life has been very full of action this last

were literally lined with dead Germans and horses and burn-
ed out vehicles. It was a terrible sight — and smell
Yes, I'll play squash again at T.C.S. as soon as I can."

E. C. Cayley ('33-'39), Lieut., R.C.N.V.R.— H.M. Sub-

or Mr. Lewis had seen me successfully working out chemis-
try and stability problems, as well as doing practical elec-

Cornwallis where I took a brusher-upper course in anti-sub
work, I bumped into "Porpy" Reid ('36-'43). He came nip-
ping up very smartly (for Porp), looking much as ever, and
we had a short chin .... There was another chap, also on
this A/S course with me, with whom I chummed around for
over a week before I happened to casually mention T.C.S. He
came out with a "What! — did you go there too?" And we
became inseparable friends — Johnny Millichamp ('24-'28)
.... He joined the Navy around the end of 1941, has been
at sea quite a bit, and is now First Lieutenant .... I hope
to see the Rugby team's victories cramming the war off the
front page! — One thing you can be thankful for, is that
never again will you have No. 28's 'Ace Play' in the First
Team!"

tirely of Infantry men and on completion of their eight

Lieut. Keith Russel ('34-'39) was one of the officers
aboard Landing Craft No. 306 on D-Day. This craft was
fortunate enough to come through the trials of the day
entirely unscathed, and it made four further trips on suc-
ceeding days. He writes: "We arrived off the beach at
zero hour on the 6th and landed our troops about three
hours later. Jerry did a good job mining the approaches
and the bridgehead as witness the fact that, out of twelve
craft in our flotilla, we were the only one to come through
absolutely unscathed. There were only three casualties in
our flotilla which was surprisingly light; we expected more
from what we saw on the beaches. Several craft had to
remain on the beach for a few tides before being towed back
to G.B., where repairs were effected with amazing rapidity.
The majority of damaged crafts hit mines in their engine
rooms, but most of them are ready to go now. Enemy
opposition from the shore was disappointing, though we
did have a bit of trouble with a few snipers in seaside
villas".

in H.M.S. "Howe" with the Eastern Fleet, operating around

ing home towards the end of July he said, "I was ashore
in Algiers and Port Tewfic, which is at the South end of
the Canal, just next to Suez .... Algiers was pleasant —
good swimming and quite hot, but not too bad in tropical
rig .... a grubby sort of place .... a strange mixture of
street-cars, modem buildings and Arabs sleeping in the
streets .... (Tewfic) Some of us hired a ganny — a horse-
drawn affair piloted by a cheerful soul answering to the
name of Hassan — and had a good look around .... From
the time you step ashore until you leave you're surrounded
by persistent native characters, who try to sell you all
manner of articles from fly swatters to "feelthy pictures",
and pick your pocket at the same time".
Tony was very pleased with the appointment. Writ-

O Almighty God, who art wiser than the
children of men and overrulest all things to their
good, hold, we beseech Thee, in Thy keeping all
who have gone forth to battle for our cause,
especially those from this School: watch over
those that are missing: comfort and protect those
in the hands of the enemy. Be with them in the
hour of danger, strengthen them in the hour of
weakness, sustain and comfort them in the hour
of sickness or of death. Grant that they may be
true to their calling and true always to Thee,
and make both them and us to be strong to do our
duty in Thy service, through Jesus Christ our
Lord.

EDITORIALS
It has been said that this is a young man's war and
that the hope of everyone is that it will be a young man's
world afterwards. We have only to observe the youthful-
ness of the average officer of all ranks in order to have
ample proof for the first part of this statement. But the
importance of youth must not be confined solely to war-
time. There is no reason, now that the initial step has been
taken, that youth should not continue to take a leading
part in the world of the future. I do not, however, propose
that the experience which comes with age should be neglect-
ed. I suggest only that more responsibility should be given
to youjiger men than has previously been the custom.
At T.C.S. there is a system which is designed to de-
velop the sense of responsibility. It manifests itself in
privileges ranging from House Officers to Prefects. The
2 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
principles involved are neither novel nor restricted to this
School. They were developed over a long period of time in
the English Public Schools, where they are, to be frank,
more suited to the nature and upbringing of the average
boy. Yet this system has been an essential part of T.C.S.
in varying degrees ever since the School's founding, and
has continually proved its usefulness.
Nevertheless, it would be foolish to accept the scheme
blindly, without any regard for how it may best benefit the
boys concerned. It is accepted by most, in whole or in part,
that the experience gained as a "privilege" in holding re-
sponsibility, and as a New Boy in- obedience and neatness
will be useful after we leave the School. Some do not con-
cern themselves with the purpose at all, but feel rather that
the system is a means of making themselves comfortable.
This, of course, is a ridiculous point of view; for unless
something has its purpose in life — and that does not include
a selfish one — there is no reason for it to exist. In other
words, if our system is of no use, we ought not to tolerate
it any longer in the School!
Who will deny, however, that basically our system can
be of great benefit to boys in their later lives? It should
equip them with the fundamentals of leadership and the
obligations of responsibility, so that when "opportunity
knocks", they will be ready to take advantage of it. If the
system has any shortcomings, we must endeavor to intro-
duce improvements or remedies.
The most important and obvious fault is that boys
may very easily "get the wrong slant" on the principles of
leadership by misusing or by using unintelligently their
privileges, and thus lose any advantages and worth-while
experience that they might otherwise have expected to gain.
The first step in guarding against this pitfall is to think
over the principles of leadership. Personal example is an
essential precept; but so are such qualities as understand-
ing and sympathy. Strictness, that is attention to disci-
pline, is another fundamental. Another basic feature that
we ought to observe is that we can never expect to lead
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3
efficiently by fear; if we ever hope to be followed loyally,
it must be through respect and devotion. It is, however,
only the combination of all these factors which makes the
successful leader.
And so, let us not cast aside the extraordinary oppor-
tunity which our life at this School gives us, to develop the
faculty of leadership. And let us remember that after the
war is over, Canada will look to her youth for guidance;
let us be prepared to give that guidance with our abilities
developed to the full.

CHRISTMAS, 1944
Once again autumn leaves have fallen and winter, cold
but invigorating, has come upon an expectant people. Soon
Christmas day will be here with ringing bells and children's
joyous shouts and chatter about Santa Claus.
We will welcome this, our sixth Christmas of total
war, with mixed feelings, for many of our families will not
be complete. However, we must remember that our rela-
tions overseas have brought a happier Christmas to count-
less peoples, who, last year, were subjugated and suffering.
Let the birthday of our Lord help us realize that our cause
is just, and that we must not weary in our long crusade.
Our previous perseverance has brought us within sight of
the end. With victory and peace close by, let us take new
strength from the spirit of Christmas and rededicate our-
selves to the task of making our world a free and better
place.

IN MEMORIAM
"Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail
Or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt,
Dispraise or blame, nothing but well and fair.
And what may quiet us in a death so noble."
W. A. BLACK, A.F.C.
Flight Lieutenant, R.C.A.F.
Will Black came to the Junior School from Halifax in
September, 1931, and he remained at the School for six
years, until September, 1937. We think of him as a slim,
handsome lad, with fine, clean cut features and a distinct
flare for English rugby and hockey.
In his final year, Will was appointed a School Prefect,
he played on the first football team, starring as a kicker
and broken field runner, he captained a particularly good
hockey team, he was a member of the first Gym. eight and
he was runner up in the tennis finals. Also, he was one of
the few good players on Middleside Cricket. It is super-
fluous to add that Will Black was an exceptionally good
athlete; but he was more than that, he was a real sports-
man and a most popular member of every team.
Will was not by nature a student but he did some good
work in the School Leaving Course and when he left he
found himself well qualified for a post in the Royal Bank
of Halifax. Later he entered the old established shipping
firm of Pickford and Black in the same city. He saved suf-
ficient funds from his salary to take out the first life mem-
bership in the reorganized O.B.A. and he continued to play
rugby and hockey on city teams.
In 1939, Will enlisted in the R.C.A.F. becoming a Ser-
geant in 1940. He was sent to Trenton for an instructor's
course and was commissioned as Pilot Officer in 1942. After
instructing for over a year and a half, mostly at Moncton,
N.B., he was posted to Bagotville, P.Q., for a course on
Hurricanes. Will wrote to the Headmaster from Bagot-
ville to say how keen he was to get overseas and fly Mos-
quitoes. In April, 1943, he was awarded the Air Force Cross
6 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
for his efficient and devoted service to the R.C.A.F. Later
he was promoted to the rank of Flight Lieutenant and post-
ed overseas.
Last spring Will met Bob Smith in London and the
two saw much of each other. Bob asked Will how he won
his decoration and Will replied "Oh, nothing; you know,
Bob, with ten cents and this medal I can get a cup of coffee
anywhere in Canada."
On June 27, Will was flying a Mustang on photo recon-
naissance duty, leading a section over France. When they
reached the target Will circled a wood very low down. Flak
suddenly hit the wing of Will's aircraft; it burst in flames
and crashed in the woods. Later his remains were found
with his disc as proof of his identity.
Two v/eeks before his death Will had married Miss
Helen Ogilvie, niece of J. T. Ogilvie ('19-'21).
Will's loss is a bitter one, so much lay before him in
life; the School sends its deepest sympathy to his young
wife and his mother in Halifax.
F. A. YOKES
Lt. Col., Commanding 9th. Can. Armoured Regiment
Fred Yokes was at T.C.S. only one year, from Septem-
ber, 1925 until June, 1926, but boys who were in the School
then can never forget his sturdy figure and indomitable
character. He was in the Sixth form, always doing well
in his work, and he was a star middle wing on the football
team.
After four successful years at R.M.C., Fred graduated
in June, 1930, with the rank of Lance Corporal and was
recommended for a Commission in the permanent force.
He joined Lord Strathcona's Horse and in 1935 he was sent
to England for a course with the Imperial Army. In 1937,
he was promoted to the rank of Captain and was stationed
in Winnipeg.
Fred was among the first troops to go overseas in
January, 1940, and he was appointed liaison officer of his
regiment. In September, 1940, he was promoted to the
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 7
rank of Major and made Officer Commanding the Canadian
Reconnaissance Squadron of the 2nd. Division. Later he
was appointed second in command of the Canadian Re-
connaissance Battalion. In December, 1941, he was pro-
moted to the rank of Acting Lt. Colonel and appointed
Officer Commanding the Eighth Canadian Reconnaissance
Battalion. He took a leading part in the assault on Dieppe
in August, 1942, and returned safely from that costly at-
tack. Early in 1944 he was sent to Italy as Officer Com-
manding the Ninth Canadian Armoured Regiment. On
August 31, he was seriously wounded in action and he died
in hospital on September 4.
Fred Yokes and "Doc" Ardagh, whose death in action
was mentioned in our last issue, were both in the permanent
force, both Lt. Colonels in the Armoured Corps, and both
gave their lives in Italy in the same action.
Fred's father, Lt. Col. Yokes of Kingston, has had a
distinguished career in the army. Our deep sympathy goes
out to Mrs. Yokes of Winnipeg and to all the members of
Fred's family in the loss of such a brave and capable Senior
Officer.
A. M. FERGUSON
Lieutenant, Royal Canadian Regiment
Mac Ferguson was only ten years old when he enter-
ed the Junior School m September, 1927 ; he stayed with us
for eight years leaving in September, 1935, to enter the
University of Western Ontario.
His years at T.C.S. span a momentous period in the
history of the School for Mac saw the fire of March, 1928,
the building of the new Senior School and the return of the
S.S. boys in April, 1930; when he came the country was
experiencing a boom, the School was full; he saw the num-
bers dwindle after the crash to eighty-eight in the Senior
School and nineteen boarders in the Junior School. And
Mac Ferguson was one of those sturdy lads who in his final
two S.S. years did much to bring about more successful
days for the School on the hill.
8 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Mac was always more of a student than an athlete and
his quiet, reserved, dignified character with ever a twinkle
in his eye. won him respect and admiration. Because of his
general standing in the School he was appointed a Senior
in his final year and he fulfilled his duties at a difficult time
with the utmost sense of responsibility. As Editor of the
Record he did much to make a success of the new scheme
of publishing six numbers during the school year instead
of three. Mac was a brilliant History student and he won
the Rigby history prize as well as the Saunders prize for
Reading in Chapel. He consistently stood in the top rank
of the Sixth form and carried on his good work at the Uni-
versity of Western Ontario. There he became Director of
Publications on the Student Commission and a frequent
contributor to the undergraduate paper; he graduated with
high standing in June, 1938.
Mac then joined the British American Oil Company,
and enlisted for active service in July, 1940. He was com-
missed as a Lieutenant but was kept in training for medical
reasons until March, 1944. During this period he saw
service at Camp Borden and Niagara Falls, later becoming
Aide to Major-General Constantine. He was then a Cap-
tain but reverted to the rank of Lieutenant in order to see
action. After six weeks in England he was sent to Italy.
In a letter written to the School last August, Mac spoke of
the Old Boys he had seen, eleven of them; he said he looked
forward to "an O.B.A, meeting in the Wilhelmstrasse in
January"; he enquired feelingly for Pat Osier, and he ex-
pressed the hope "that the coming year will be one of the
School's most successful". Mac had missed his "Records"
and was most anxious to have additional copies.
Mac went through some of the fiercest fighting of the
war on the Italian front. In the battle for Rimini his pla-
toon was taking shelter in some buildings only twenty yards
from the enemy. His O.C. asked him if he was pinned
down; "nothing like the Hun" was Mac's reply. He was
killed in action on October 17.
In his final editorial in the "Record" of July, 1935, Mac
Ferguson speaks of the happy years he had at the School
and the many changes he had seen; he was enthusiastic
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 9
about the spirit in the School and he ends with these words :
"To those leaving we say 'Good luck', to those returning,
'Carry on', and to the School itself, in the words of Catullus,
'Hail and Farewell'."
Now to Mac Ferguson, splendid Old Boy and citizen,
gallant officer and loyal friend, the School responds, "Hail
and Farewell" ; for him and his fellows who have made life
possible for us we shall indeed try to carry on.
We send our deep sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. D. J. H.
Ferguson of London, Ontario, in their grievous loss.
J. G. REDPATH
PUot Officer, R.C.A.F.
Johnny Redpath spent only two years with us from
September, 1937, until June, 1939. In that time, however,
we realized what a sterling character he was and it gave us
great disappointment that he did not return for one or two
more years. In his last year he was a member of the
Fourth form and played on the Littleside Football and
Cricket teams, and the Middleside Hockey team.
After he left he attended Westmount High School and
then entered McGill where he did well in every way. At
the end of his second year he enlisted in the Air Force. He
graduated in the autumn of 1943 and was given his com-
mission. Because of his skill and reliability Johnny was
selected as an instructor. He was stationed at Uplands
for six months and had put in some seven hundred fly-
ing hours instructing pupils. On August 5 his plane col-
lided with another and crashed, killing Johnny and his
pupil instantly.
John was one of those rare people who always see the
silver lining and radiate cheerfulness wherever they go.
He was always liked and respected, and undoubtedly he had
a most successful career ahead of him. Though he did not
see action against the enemy, Johnny has given his life in
service to the cause of freedom from tyranny just as truly
as those in the front line.

To his parents, his brother Frank ('29-'33), and his
sister, the School sends its deep sympathy in the loss of
such a splendid son and brother.
R. M. REID
Pilot Officer, R.C.A.F.
We have been hoping for many months that word of
Max Reid's safety would be received, but none has come
and he has now been officially presumed dead.
Max entered the School in September, 1934, and left in
June, 1937. He was not a star performer on the athletic
field or in class, but he had a way with him which won him
many friends. He played on the basketball team of 1937
and thoroughly enjoyed the game. He also won second
team colours in football and cricket. After he left he took
a course in aeronautics at the Boeing Aircraft Plant in
California, with Budge Jukes, but soon after war broke out
he joined the Air Force. He went overseas in October,
1941, and was promoted from Sergeant Pilot to Pilot Officer.
After taking part in many operations on bombers, Max was
reported missing on February 25, 1943. He was flying a
Wellington to India and presumably he crashed over occu-
pied France or the Bay of Biscay.
Max had flying in his blood and in a short time he had
become a most skilful pilot. After the war he hoped to
engage in civil flying but that was not to be.
He has given his life bravely in the service of his coun-
try and our deep sympathy is extended to his mother, Mrs.
J. A. McDonald of Caulfield, B.C., and to the other mem-
bers of his family.
E. B. ROGERS
Major, R.C.A.
Ned Rogers was at T.C.S. from September, 1922 until
June, 1935. In his last year he was a member of the Fifth
form and played on Bigside football, winning his second
team colours. In cricket he played on the third team. Ned
.TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD H
enjoyed life and won many friends at the School; it was
hoped he would have a Sixth form year but he left to enter
the R.M.C. Graduating from R.M.C. he attended the Uni-
versity of Toronto and then joined the St. Lawrence Steel
and Wire Company in Gananoque. He rose quickly and was
Vice-President of the Company when he enlisted in 1941.
He went overseas with the Gananoque battery and was
posted to France with an anti-tank regiment in July, 1944.
He was killed in action at the end of July.
Ned Rogers took an active interest in all the affairs of
his community ; he was a member of the Gananoque Town
Council, a former president of the Golf and Country Club,
and always glad to help any worthwhile project. He made
a host of friends wherever he went.
On August 1 a Memorial Service was held for him
at Christ Anglican Church, Gananoque, conducted by
Captain the Rev. N. R. Stout. The church was crowded to
capacity and the congregation included members of the
Gananoque Battery, the local branch of the Canadian
Legion, the Town Council, the Board of Education, em-
ployees of the St. Lawrence Steel and Wire Co., and repre-
sentatives of many other organizations.
Ned Rogers' death is a terrible blow to his family and
a real loss to his community. In peace and in war he
served his fellow men and he did not falter or fail. His
life will be an inspiration to all who knew him.
The School extends its deep sympathy to Mrs. Rogers
and all the members of his family.
J. O. COMBE
Lieutenant, Western Ontario Regiment
Joe Combe entered the Junior School as a slightly
built lad in September, 1926. He went through the School
during the next six years, leaving in June, 1932. From his
first weeks in the J.S., Joe showed that he was an extra-
ordinary sprinter and he won innumerable races by his
prowess. In 1930 and 1931 he ran in the Oxford Cup race
and his record of twenty-two minutes thirty seconds made
12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
in 1930 still stands; it is unlikely it will ever be beaten.
Joe never said much about his successes, but he never
took part in any race without the School feeling that a
record would be broken. There was the story of the dis-
trict track meet at Oshawa on May 24. The next day
someone read on the sporting page that J. O. Combe had
won most of the events; it was the first intimation anyone
had that Joe had extended his whole holiday to Oshawa.
In 1930 and 1931 Joe played on the football team
making many gains by his speed. He won second colours
in hockey. Not a great student he reached the Fifth Form
and left to enter business.
Early in the war he joined the reserve army, entering
active service with the rank of Captain in 1942. He com-
manded a Company at Kitchener, Listowel and Stratford,
later going to Ipperwash for advanced infantry training.
He was kept there as instructor but reverted to the rank
of Lieutenant in order to get overseas. Arriving in Eng-
land in February, 1943, he went to France early in July
attached to the Essex Scottish Regiment. Joe went through
the hard struggle at Caen and Falaise, gallantly leading his
men in the assaults on enemy strongholds. He was killed
near Rouen while crossing the Seine on August 27.
His Commanding Officer has written of the terrible
loss Joe's death was to his battalion. "Always hard work-
ing, he put his best into everything he did; he is a man the
world can ill afford to lose but his name will be remembered
and honoured throughout the years to come". No finer
tribute can be paid to Joe Combe and truly we who knew
him will always remember him with admiration and grati-
tude.
We send our deep sympathy to his parents, Col. and
Mrs. H. B. Combe, of Clinton, Ontario.

up the School in his quiet, rather detached way, and never
did his sparkling eyes miss any detail of our life. Malcolm
was not a natural athlete, but, like everything else he did,
he gave his best, playing all the games. He won his third
team colours in football and second team colours in hoc-
key, cricket and gym. In his final year he was made a
Senior because of his all round dependability. He worked
steadily and succeeded in passing his examinations for
entry to McGill. There he took a commerce course, gra-
duating as Bachelor of Commerce in May, 1942.
At McGill he was a member of the C.O.T.C. in 1939
and then joined the reserve of the Black Watch in October,
1940. He enlisted for active service with the second bat-
talion of the Black Watch in April, 1942. From Novem-
ber, 1942, until May, 1943, he was A.D.C. to Major-General
P. E. Le Clerc. In February, 1944, he went overseas and
was posted to France on August 9. He was killed in action
on September 29 at St. Leonard, Belgium.
The Chaplain of his regiment tells us that Malcolm's
men were seizing a vital bridge across a canal. They cap-
tured the houses on one side of the approaching street and
had to cross over to the other side; Malcolm was hit by
machine gun bullets and killed instantly. Captain Royle
spoke of Malcolm as "a, true friend and capable officer; his
men relied on him and trusted his judgment and leader-
ship and they were terribly distressed at his passing".
We shall remember Malcolm Johnston as one of those
steady, reliable young men who do so much without any
fanfare to make life enjoyable for others. In the hour of
crisis he proved himself a gallant soldier and leader of sol-
diers, giving his all for the preservation of Christian ideals.
No man could do more.
We send our deep sympathy to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Grant Johnston of Montreal.

CHAPELIMNarES
Go Thou and Do Likewise
For his sermon on Sunday, October 29, the Rev. Canon
L. A. Dixon chose as his text, "He that is greatest among
you shall be your servant". He pointed out that there
were two attitudes or objectives in life: the material one
of getting the most out of it, and the spiritual one of put-
ting the most into it in an endeavour to help others. He
then cited two examples of men who adopted the latter
course.
The first was an outstanding American doctor who
decided early in his career to set up practice in the locality
where he was most urgently needed. He finally chose the
southeast coast of Arabia, where he remained thirty-five
years, dedicating his life to the welfare of the natives.
The second example was an Englishman, also a doctor,
who had practised in Harley Street, London. While on
holiday in India, he temporarily relieved a friend who was
in charge of a mission hospital on the south coast. The
medical needs of the people so impressed him that he re-
solved to give up his practice in London and to remain in
India, where he could be of more value.
In closing, the Rev. Canon Dixon asked us to bear in
mind the splendid examples of these two men and to re-
member that the future peace of the world is dependent
upon a spirit of sacrifice and co-operation rather than upon
selfishness and exploitation.
16 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
All Saints' Day
On All Saints' Day, the Headmaster spoke in the
Chapel. He told us that after the last war, a master had
written a play in which the spirits of several of the Old
Boys who had perished in that struggle, had returned to
the School on "Hallowe'en", the eve of All Saints' Day.
After looking over the familiar buildings they discovered
the Memorial Cross, and were astonished, for they did not
feel that their sacrifices merited such recognition and re-
verence. Such boys were happy and near to us for they had
won immortality through their courage and service to
humanity.
The Headmaster then briefly reviewed the careers of
each of the twelve Old Boys who have made the supreme
sacrifice since last June.
In conclusion, the Chaplain read the Roll of Honour of
the thirty-eight Old Boys who have given their lives for
their country in this war.
Let The Lord Enter In
On Sunday, November 5, we were privileged to have
Squadron Leader Guinness, the Picton Air Station Chaplain,
deliver the sermon. He chose his text from the third
chapter of Revelations: "Behold, I stand at the door, and
knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will
come in to him."
To illustrate his point, Sq. Leader Guinness cited an
incident that occurred during the period when he directed
a summer camp. It so happened that a poor lad from a
neighboring farm had run away from home and was found
sleeping in a bam nearby. While family matters were being
straightened out, he was permitted to remain in camp. Each
evening, according to custom, the boys gathered around the
campfire, and at the conclusion prayers were said and one
of the senior boys gave his views on what Christianity
meant to him personally. The visitor was enraptured by
this procedure, and not long afterwards he returned with
his whole family that they might also hear about Chris-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 17
tianity. The following summer he stopped in at the camp,
and everyone was quite astonished at the change which had
taken place. He seemed a different type of person entirely.
The preacher explained that Christianity contained a very
penetrating message which could not only save you from
yourself, but also give you a more appropriate outlook on
life.
Christ and Society
On Sunday, November 12, the Chaplain preached on
Christ and Society, taking his text from St. Paul's first
epistle to the Corinthians. "Let each man abide in that
calling wherein he was called. Wast thou not called being
a bondservant? Care not for it; but if thou canst become
free use it rather. For he that was called being a bond-
servant is the Lord's freedman; likewise he that was called
being free is Christ's bondservant. Ye were brought with
a price; become not bondservants of men. Brethren let
each man, wherein he was called therein abide with God."
In answer to his first question "How far ought Chris-
tianity to affect human society?" he referred us to his text
and pointed out that the question was being raised and
answered in the earliest days of Christianity, when the con-
verts at Corinth wished to know how the new teachings
affected slavery.
The text is St. Paul's own opinion of the subject and
he repudiates any revolutionary character attached to the
Gospel. He refuses to attach any importance to circum-
stances, which mean nothing to the inspired Christian. The
Chaplain pointed out, however, that this was not the idea
of heavenly reward, for there are implications to this idea.
Since Christianity is the Gospel of individual enfranchise-
ment, it cannot be allied to any system which hinders this
supreme object. But this does not imply social upheavel.
In fact, the best examples of Christianity took place when
the idea of conflict with the social order was absent from
Christianity. Man proved that in God he could triumph
over his surroundings. As the world became more and
18 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
more Christian, this mental and moral self respect raised
the general level of life.
He quoted St. Paul again in his conclusion : "We preach
Christ crucified. Unto the Jews a stumbling block and
unto the Greeks foolishness, but unto them that are being
called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and
the wisdom of God".
Church and State
On Sunday, November 19, the Chaplain again deliver-
ed the sermon. He spoke on relations between the Church
and state down through the ages, mentioning especially the
late Archbishop of Canterbury, William Temple.
Ever since the day when Augustus was made first Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, there has been strife between these
two factions. On some occasions the Church proved its
power, as when Innocent HI so arbitrarily dealt with King
John. At other times, the State was the stronger, as it was
when Henry VIII placed himself at the head of the English
Church. Since then the basis of the trouble has been be-
tween Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, and the
nationalistic causes have disappeared almost entirely.
In the nineteenth century, there was a new outbreak of
interest. In the industrial districts of England, the new fac-
tory system had resulted in abnormally poor living condi-
tions for the working classes. An organization known as
"Christian Socialism" moved to improve these conditions,
and when the working class finally was represented in Com-
mons by the Labour Party, it felt that its work was done.
Again in 1930, when the workers of England were thrown
into unprecedented poverty, the Church, this time in the
official capacity of the Archbishop of York, William Temple,
demanded social legislation to improve their lot.
The Chaplain went on to say that at the Malvern Con-
ference, organized and presided over by the late William
Temple, then Archbishop of York, it was decided that the
Church can never side with any government that hinders
men from being Christians.

Christ Came to Save Sinners
On Thursday, November 23, the Rev. Brian Green of
London, England, delivered a short sermon at Evensong.
He selected as his text: "It is a faithful saying that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners."
The preacher commenced by giving us his definition of
sin: "We sin when we do something we know to be wrong".
It is absolutely futile, he continued, to think that we can
reform over-night. Salvation can only be accomplished
through persevering effort. But, until we at least attempt
this effort, we should not be classified as Christians.
Mr. Green likened the peoples of the world unto a man
who has fallen down a well and broken his arm. When
his potential rescuer offers to get him out, he refuses say-
ing that he can think of a lot more uncomfortable places
to live. When God sent His only Son to save us, we had
the same choice to make, and we chose to go on sinning.
In conclusion, the preacher reminded us that God is a loving
God and a forgiving God, and that despite our faults and
our sins, He is always eager to receive us.

Congratulations from the School
The School extends its congratulations to Air Marshal
W. A. Bishop on his being invested by His Excellency the
Governor General with the insignia of the Companion of
the Most Honorable Order of the Bath.
Air Marshal Bishop already holds the V.C., D.S.O. and
Bar, M.C., and D.F.C. He was awarded the C.B. in the
King's birthday honours.
We have lately been reading enthusiastic reviews of
Air Marshal Bishop's book, "The Air Age", which has just
been published.
*****
We congratulate the Rev. F. J. Sawers, M.A., on being
appointed Archdeacon of York. Archdeacon Sawers, now
Rector of St. Matthews, Toronto, was a master at T.C.S.
whom many Old Boys remember with affection. He is a
most welcome visitor whose sermons are much appreciated,
and he has served the Church with distinction.
Visit of the Rev. Brian Green
On Thursday, November 23, the Senior School gather-
ed in the gymnasium to hear a talk by the Rev. Brian Green
on the Robot Blitz. As vicar of a London Parish and as
Chaplain to Anti-Aircraft Headquarters, he has had many
opportunities to witness both the results and the counter-
measures taken against this latest phase of warfare. He
has been lecturing for the last two and a half months on
the subject to students and troops throughout Canada.
Mr. Green went into considerable detail concerning the
V 1, V 2 and the theory of defense known as Radar Mech-
anical Gunnery. In a most interesting and telling fashion
he gave us a detailed picture of the effect of buzz bombs
and V 2 weapons on England. We are very greatly in-
debted to Mr. Green for having interrupted his busy sche-
dule to visit the School.

Discussion of War Policy
On December 1 a meeting was held in Hall to discuss
the policy of the Government concerning the Army. Three
quarters of the Senior School was present and over thirty
boys made speeches, some of them very good ones. The
Headmaster was in the chair and opened the meeting by
explaining the peculiar position of Canada, not yet a hun-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 23
dred years old as a confederation of Provinces, containing
representatives of most European races, and still pretty
close to the pioneer stage of development when every man
was isolated and his ideas bounded by his own fields. Ma-
terial progress had leapt ahead of sound development as
citizens. The twin problems facing us were how to keep
a strong army overseas and at the same time maintain a
united workshop and training ground at home.
Currie gave a well reasoned and documented plea for
tolerance and encouragement of the better elements in the
country. He thought we should back Senator Bouchard
who was the first French-Canadian to state publicly some
of the wrong doings of his fellow countrymen. Wade spoke
of the natural hostility felt by minorities. Huycke said
French Canada had been conquered, French-Canadians had
been given the liberties of citizens and they must do their
duty as citizens. Langdon thought civil war would cure
our evils and result in a firmly united country; witness
Russia, Spain, the United States. Paterson and Hope
wanted the Catholic Church to adopt a more enlightened
view. Vernon thought education should be nationally con-
trolled and White and Stokes were in favour of the volun-
tary method; Bronfman spoke of the wrong lead given in
Quebec, while Dawson wanted firmness one way or the
other, claiming the exploitation of the French-Canadians.
Gillan mentioned the problems facing French-Canadians and
Butterfield gave two strongly worded speeches urging
everyone to get behind the army and bring the war to an
end so that there could be developed a real unity of nations.
Butterfield's remarks were to the point and delivered with
emphasis and deep feeling. Dobell pointed out the three
alternatives facing the nation, while Pearson supported the
Government in its dilemma, believing the Prime Minister
to be sincere and doing his best to hold country and army
together. Many others also contributed to the discussion.
A vote was taken resulting in seventy-seven for total
overseas conscription, forty-six for the present partial con-
scription plan, and three for the volunteer method. The
meeting then adjourned.

New Boys' Hallowe'en Party
The annual Seniors' and Prefects' party for the New
Boys was held on Tuesday, October 31. As usual, the lat-
ter were divided into Houses for the obstacle race in the
gymnasium and the apple- (?) ducking in the pool. Both
events were extremely closely contested, with the obstacle
race resulting in a tie, a decision which drew the customary
deluge of cheers and boos from the different sections of
the audience, and Brent House winning the contest in the
pool by the slim margin of two apples: 257-255. Never
before had there been such close competition.
After these events, the whole School retreated (slow
march, of course!) to the Dining Hall where Mrs. Wilkin
had prepared refreshments.
The Victorj' Loan Draw
On Wednesday, November 15, the draw for bonds and
certificates in connection with the Seventh Victory Loan
was held after supper in the Hall. A total of three hun-
dred and twenty-one dollars was contributed to the Loan,
one hundred and ninety of which came from Bethune, one
hundred from Brent and the remainder from the masters.
This represents an increase of very nearly one hundred
dollars over last year.
Morgan ii, blindfolded by a somewhat dubious looking
scarf, made the draw, assisted by the Prefects. Four fifty
dollar bonds were won by Mr. Key, Austin ii, Langdon and
Deverall. Mr. Hodgetts (who also carried off a ten dollar
certificate), Gill. Ingham and Wigle departed with twenty
dollar War Savings Certificates, while the remaining four
ten dollar and six five dollar Certificates, plus one dollar in
War Savings Stamps were distributed evenly, although we
might mention that Col. de Bury continued his success of
last year by winning two of them. Again, strangely
enough, the Masters have carried off a major share of the
prizes in proportion to their number. We realize that they
are above reproach, but we can wonder!

Half-Term Break
On Monday, November 6, the approximately eighty
boys who remained at the School for the Half-Term break
celebrated a whole holiday by hiking out to the Ski Camp.
An excellent meal was served by the Headmaster and his
assistants, and even late-comers were well fed. After lunch
the boys went off on their own and everyone was back at
the School for supper. In the evening there was movie
leave to attend "The White Cliffs of Dover".
Movies in Hall
The first movie of the year, James Hilton's popular
"Lost Horizon", was shown in the Hall on November 4,
with selected shorts. It was greatly appreciated, especially
since the sound and projection are almost perfect this year.
We have also been fortunate in securing films relating
to our military studies, and on November 16 these were pre-
sented. The subjects chosen were First Aid (in techni-
colour, much to the mortification of certain individuals),
Leadership and Discipline, and Map Reading. These movies
proved very instructive and we hope to see more of them
in the future.
Messages to the Football Team
Messages of good wishes to the football team were re-
ceived from no less than fifteen Old Boys on Active Service,
twelve of them overseas. The members of the team were
very much touched by such thoughtfulness and we only
wish we could have "done the trick".
Names in Hall
The names of all the Prefects from the founding of
the School to last year have now been lettered on the
panelling of the dais at the east end of the Hall. This year
the names of those who were Prefects from 1902 until 1929
were added and it is hoped that the Old Boys concerned
will send subscriptions toward the cost of this work.
26 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
One year, 1869-1870, is blank, as the names of the Pre-
fects for that year are not recorded, and so far no Old Boy
has been able to remember them. We are still hoping to
discover their names.
Music Hours
Since we last went to press, there have been three more
music hours on Friday nights, and each time the attendance
has been large with the programmes continuing to grow
in popularity. Excerpts from symphonies of Mozart, Tschai-
kowsky and others have been played, and by way of con-
trast, there have been many more modern classics such as
a piano arrangement of "Summertime" from Porgy and
Bess, and a modem, but structurally none the less perfect
fugue in the lighter vein called "Bach Goes To Town".
Butterfield is to be congratulated on the way he is
planning and conducting these evenings.
Life-Saving Classes
Life-saving classes are once again being conducted
under the watchful eyes of six qualified instructors. Ap-
proximately eighty boys are attempting to gain their Inter-
mediate Certificates which all boys in the School must have,
and the tests are to be held before Christmas.
Military Studies
Special Bren Gun classes have been organized and to
date forty boys have qualified, with another eighty taking
the exam on December 13. As is the case with life-saving,
the instructors are members of the student body and should
be highly commended for their contribution to our military
studies programme.

The first meeting of the PoUtical Science Club for the
year 1944-45 was held in the Guild Room on November 12.
The ten members remaining from last year's group attend-
ed. Dobell i presided as President, and Pearson i occupied
the Secretary's chair. Greenwood was elected Treasurer
and the Headmaster was returned as Honorary President.
Eighteen applications from those wishing to join the Club
were discussed, with ten new members finally being elected.
This year the Club intends to base its discussions on
the book, "Problems of Canadian Unity", a volume of
speeches given by eminent Canadians to the Canadian In-
stitute of Political Science. This new arrangement will, we
feel, give a firmer basis and a greater coherence to the
meetings throughout the year.
Advisee Soccer
Advisee soccer was in full swing for over a week when
the first snow came on the last day of November. Many
close struggles had taken place and at the time of writing
Mr. Maier's team is the only unbeaten, untied and unscored
upon team.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHIES
(Continued from the last issue)
McLENNAN, H.— Quebec's ambassador to T.C.S. stormed
in one fine day in 1942 in the person of H. McLennan,
from the first loudly protecting the finer qualities of the
French-Canadians. "Mac" was always ready to stab any-
body who slandered our friends from Quebec and he
spent his time throwing knives very expertly at the un-
fortunate personages who were unaware of his sym-
pathies. "Mac" was what is commonly known as a
"brain" and although not naturally inclined towards
sports, was an enthusiastic skier. However, he really
found his niche in the Bethune House Common Room,
where, besides fulfilling many other functions such as
chief "brawler", he was officially president of the "8.20
dash". "Mac's" hobby was inventing weird and won-
drous scientific oddities, the most famous of which was
his "Silicon Man", over whose invention he spent hours
of concentrated study. Although he was only with us
for two years, "Mac" made many friends, and we know
that the best wishes of all follow hhn to McGill, where he
is now working amongst many staunch supporters of his
cause.
MILLAR, H. D. — "Out, out, damned spot", Chester would
yell dementedly. But after each flurry, Huntly would
return with fiendish glee to the torment. When not
annoying Chester, Huntly was sure to be found in his
room. Here, amongst countless electrical apparatus, he
and Charlie Chase manufactured the renowned T.C.S.
broadcasting station. The only other habitat of Huntly's
was the playing field, where, in hot weather or in cold,
he and Charlie could be seen taking their daily exercise
by tossing about a football. It is rumoured that Huntly
has developed a new type of pass but it is still on the
secret list. In class he shone at R.K. where his marks
were always far above average (?). Also fond of tra-
velling. Huntly took a short trip to Toronto during the
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 29
Upper School Examinations two years ago, and so skil-
fully did he arrange things, that he did not have to re-
turn to School again that year! For all this, however,
Huntly was one of the best students in VIA (2), a tire-
less skier and a pillar of strength in the band. We feel
confident that he will achieve success in his studies at
McGill.
MILLHOLLAND, A. S.— For his first two weeks, Arthur
was to be seen only in the Common Room, into which he
disappeared with his precious violin case. Rumours have
circulated as to the content of this case, but it certainly
was not a violin! Who will forget his soul-stirring ser-
mons on "sacrificing now for future success" addressed
to a spell-bound audience in the murky depths of the re-
treat for lovers of pipes. "Dutch" was nevertheless one
of the best linesmen this School has ever seen, earning
in two successful seasons his First Team Colours, a Dis-
tinction Cap and a place on the All-Star Team. Art also
made a name for himself in basketball circles, which he
deserted quite unwillingly and heroically in his last year
to devote himself to his studies ( ?) . He is now awaiting
call for the U.S. forces, in which venture we wish him
every success. Rock 'em and sock 'em Dutch!
MORGAN, R. E. S. — Imagine a charging express train bear-
ing down upon you. Bob on the Soccer field easily fitted
this description. At least the people whom he hit felt
that way, and there were lots of them! For his intense
interest and determination. Bob was, in his last year,
elected Captain of Soccer; he also won his Middleside
hockey colours and was made a House Officer. Bob had
definite political affiliations and was one of the School's
most confirmed "reactionaries"! He spent most of his
four years here as official C.C.F. ambassador without
portfollio. In keeping with his political ideas, he used to
spend lots of time in his "cell" in the Used Book Room.
To get an idea of how Bob used to debate, all we have
30 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
to imagine is the same engine, having being stoked
vigorously, blowing off quantities of steam from time to
time. When Bob left us last June, he hoped to join the
Merchant Marine but was unsuccessful; he is now in the
R.C.A.M.C. where we wish him the best of luck, but re-
mind him to be tender with the v/ounded!
ROSE, J. F. — "Rosey" first achieved notoriety in the School
as a vicious tackier, and his fine work as inside in the
Ridley game will be long remembered. At the close of
the football season he retired to the Common Room, only
leaving it for classes and to sleep. Here he took a lead-
ing part in keeping things clean and neat, and often
"Rosey" was to be seen in bare feet scrubbing the floor.
with his pipe firmly clenched between his teeth. In an
argument, he was never outdone, and indeed it took long
and continued effort on his part to proclaim the superio-
rity of Brazil over the other countries of the world ! After
Easter, he left us to join the R.C.A.F., but since our loss
is the Air Force's gain, we can only wish him continued
success in the future.
WISENER, R. A.— "Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer".
"Five'll get you ten" he never had a beard, but the ex-
cuse was good enough to deprive Mr. Scott of his precious
ten to one news. Besides establishing this reputation,
Bob was known as captain of Middleside hockey and
cricket, and a member of Bigside football and the squash
team. He was also awarded the Cup for Keenness in
Athletics. He carried on a constant feud with Bovaird
and Fisher on the tennis courts, and it is rumoured that
he followed Fisher to the Naval College to continue the
struggle. We wish him the best of luck in the navy and
hope that life under Senior Classman Phillips will not
cause him to lose his rosy complexion!

BETHUNE
Ode to Bethime
You talk about your heroes,
Your glorious bottom flat,
But we've got more for you in store,
And now we'll tell you what.
We've got the best location,
A view for all to see;
Look out upon the countryside
And listen here to me.
The gentlemen (?) in Brent House,
For years have tried to dodge
The fact, that when they look outside.
There's nothing but the Lodge.
Or take perhaps the other side,
The noisier of the two;
When you're going down to classes
All the boys vv^ill shout at vou.
"Yah, Bethune faust", they always say.
But this is quite absurd.
For "Brent" and "faust" have always been
Connected in one word.
The two just seem to go together
As natural as can be,
For Bethune has two syllables
As far as I can see.
When sun goes down and moon comes out
And all are through with work.
You come up from the classroom block,
And stop with quite a jerk.
On your left you see a maze of light,
The noise is simply frightful;
32 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
The rowdies in that awful place,
They think its quite delightful.
Ahead is stately Bethune House,
No noise from it doth come,
And all is such a lovely change
From Brent's unpleasant hum.
The corridors are quiet.
They are not splashed with light;
For the sons of aristocracy.
They seem to think its right.
We're all one happy family,
Our top and middle flats,
And also all our masters;
To them, we lift our hats.
We also have a Common room,
To lounge in after bell,
It used to be in Brent House,
But we didn't like the smell.
Our lights are always out on time,
And everyone's in bed (?),
Whereas in Brent, the boys on lights
Are usually late instead.
No doubt this verse will tell to all
Who want to know the reason,
For taking Brent for such a ride,
"Aw kids, we're only teasin'."
And now we'll tell you more about
Our house, and those who dwell
Within its walls — the bottom flat.
(If this gets past Dobell).
The M.O.D. on Friday nights
He gives the "fiver" flicker,
He tries to catch our George Robarts,
But Creorge is always quicker.
The M.O.D. is at the door
A-talking there to "Fing".
And all is quiet and peaceful
Till in our George doth fling.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 33
The light is doused, 'mid wild protest,
And "it" proceeds next door,
Where Mclntyre is hiding
And there's powder on the floor.
The M.O.D. is greeted by
A billowing cloud of smoke,
"Whatever are you doing here?"
And Herbie answers "Joke!"
And then the door is opened.
And we "feel like being sick",
For there, framed in the doorway,
Stands our lanky "Stick".
"Its eight for you and you and you,"
And Herb scoots out the door,
And "Stick" puts on more powder,
And spills it on the floor.
"It" moves along the corridor
With very cat-like tread,
'Til Weinie nearly knocks him down
While on his way to bed.
The room is dark, and cold as well.
You've often been in there.
And as "it" switches on the light,
"My goodness, where is Hare?"
Our Doug is such a good lad
Being slow he reallv hates.
But our hero can not see that.
And he gives the boy two lates.
On entering 107, he finds
The room is one big mess.
For "Scoop" and Freddie Greenwood
Have been eating, more or less.
There's paper all around the floor
And underneath the mats,
For "Scoop", a staunch Republican
Has no use for Democrats.
He pounds out on his typewriter,
His theories, wrong and right,
34 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Till Freddie gets a lateness
And our master turns the light.
The next room is peculiar,
For Bunnie's cider jug
Is lying underneath the bed,
Creating quite a fug.
The room, we'll venture here to say,
Hermetically is sealed,
To rain and wind and hail and storm
Its windows never yield.
Our Bunny is a business man
It's rather obvious there.
For on his desk to certify
Is one big mining share.
The next room's full of gaiety,
For there we find the "Gibbon"
And dozens of Bermudians,
It's Cox they're always ribbin'.
For Harry cannot say a word,
For why? His voice has fled;
He croaked and coughed until Miss Fick
Did order him to bed.
"What a madhouse!" is the verdict.
And now I'll try to tell
What happened while inside the room
Of Dawson and Dobell.
This room is full of atmosphere,
(Distinctive I should say).
And Jack is reading there in bed
While "Wong" is still away.
("Wong" goes each night across to Brent,
To eat and fill his face;
He says it helps him really
When he says the morning grace) .
In Dawson's room the light is flicked
The time, it now doth gain.
It's nearly ten. and now is heard
Sweet music's heavenlv strain.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 35
It's Chester playing symphonies,
With Matthews trying- to work.
Poor Chester, he's a mental case.
(Outside the law doth lurk).
He springs into the shadowed room
'Mid cries of "Watch the door!"
Too late, all Chester's records
Are lying on the floor.
The light is out and now he goes
To 102, where Burr
Is lying innocent in bed;
He hopes he'll never stir.
Our Ed's the Head Prefect,
Entitled to stay late.
He's never there on Friday night,
"It" never has to wait.
Now "its" tour is nearly o'er
With but two more to go.
A loud cry comes from room 100,
"Look out; you're on my toe!"
It's "Hard" and Ken, a fighting there,
Their room is upside down.
They each receive four quarters
From our master with a frown.
Aha, the last is nearing now,
I hear a strange new noise.
Its "Joker" and Pat Vernon, who
Are Bethune's promising boys.
"Watch out, Sir, look above your head,"
And "it" jumps back dismayed.
There lies a pail of Adam's Ale,
On him 'twas to have laid.
These are a few of Bethune's boys
And if you don't like that,
Just go up to Bermuda;
It's on the topmost flat.
36 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Our great and glorious Bethune House
Of thee we'll sing thy praise,
We'll talk about thy merits
In distant future days.
And I could go on telling you,
My story to infinity,
If Bethune House were just too full
I then would turn to Trinity.

BRENT
Heavenly Days
A cough broke the silence of that dimly lit room, and
the footsteps still echoed heavily from the creaking stair-
case. A dark, shadowy figure made its way step by step
to the top of the landing, and disappeared into the dark-
ness
Death is swift! How quickly he had faded from life,
he did not know. Those steps, yes, that was it, those
steps. He must have fallen forward because as he tried
now to get up he was lying face downwards. A strange
feeling swept his prostrate body; he seemed to be floating
through space. And while he struggled to his feet, he was
aware of a new force — an attraction upwards; someone
seemed to be pullmg him skyward. And just when he
began to walk towards this goal he stopped. He had no
control over himself. Confused and bewildered he tried to
think. He seemed to be slipping backwards now, pulled by
some new power. What could he do?
At this moment of despair, he saw a face before him.
It was a handsome face, long, firm, with long hair slightly
gray from worry, and as he began to speak his left eyebrow
was lifted high, as though he were doing just another job
customary to his daily routine. "Well, Bud" he said, "Your
time has come at last. Can't be helped I suppose; in any
case you've come to us just at the right time. But first,
before you enter into our way of life, you must make a
choice. You have two alternatives. Bud. The first is sky-
ward, which is that pulling you felt just before I came in
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 37
to help you. You can take this course Bud; it is a good
one, a course full of victories and conquest, a land of con-
tentment and friendliness. You can go this way if you
like, or you may go below — to a land inhabited by savages,
intent only on getting ahead no matter what the cost. Take
your choice Bud, but hurry! I hear the sound of our
elevator. Up or down. Bud; hurry!"
There was a sharp crack of a whip, and a red light
flashed out of nowhere with a thick white arrow pointing
downward. A doorway opened in the wall and a rather
tall, dark-haired man stepped forward. "Going down", he
exclaimed; and as he spoke, he played with a bristly
mustache on his upper lip. "If you're coming, you'd better
hurry up" he continued in an unusually sarcastic tone. "If
you come with me I will show you a world where you can
at least make a worth-while person of yourself. Either
get in or stay out, I really don't care which you do, but
make up your mind, I haven't all day."
Not knowing quite what to do. Bud stood still, thought-
ful and perplexed. As he began to wonder just what death
had bestowed upon him, tnere was a smooth swish in the
air, and another elevator eased gently into position. A
medium sized man dressed in brown stepped out of the car.
He appeared to be stroking a rather determined looking
chin. "Well", he said, "right on time; not one thousandth
of a minute out. Oh! there you are. John, isn't it, or just
what is your name ? Anyway it makes no difference ; hurry
up, we've no time to lose. We have exactly seventeen
minutes until we call for our next client. Oh! come on,
there is no time to figure this out, just face the facts and
come with me to our home in the heavens."
Taken in by the speed and precision of this strange
operator. Bud no longer hesitated, but stepped into the
waiting car. As he did so, he waved goodbye to the others
present and as the doors slid smoothly to a close, he
heard the driver of the downward elevator cry in disgust:
"Oh well, have it your own way. But don't say I didn't
warn you".
38 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
"Buzz, buzz, buzz, went the buzzer; clang, clang, clang
went the bell" shouted the operator as the car glided to a
stop. "All out for Brent, the home in the heavens."
One by one they left the elevator. There were thir-
teen shaky newcomers. As they approached the main hall,
they were all full of expectation and nervousness. Never
before had they seen such a place. The walls were lined
with pictures of famous Brent teams which had defended
the "heavens in their own backyard." But the first things
they noticed were, I believe, the names on the many doors
which led off the hall. They were the ones which apparent-
ly had been there the longest. The first one they saw was
Howard. I guess they wondered how he had found his way
into this wonderful existence. They discovered later that
he ran his legs off and passed away. Then there was
Bovaird: they say he got himself so tied up in one of his
stories that he strangled himself. Further down the hall
they ran into Decker, who by some strange feat died of an
overdose of Absorbine Junior — poor lad! Sinclair, another
gem of Brent, they were told, beat himself to death on a
drum. Davidson, it is rumoured, passed peacefully away
due to some trouble with ingrowing toenails. Irwin appar-
ently died of shock when his wrist watch stopped — he vow-
ed it would never happen again — it hasn't. ,And last of all,
at the end of the spacious corridor, they met Allen — he.
poor soul, suffered an attack of sleeping sickness, and hasn't
been the same since.
As Bud stood there among all this splendour and glory,
he casually glanced out of a nearby window. There to his
complete amazement were three Brent House new boys
proudly whirling around a high bar, doing upstarts. Al-
ready he was proud of them — they were a part of his new
"home in the heavens". Yes, he would like it here — every-
one does. Thinkmg back over his decision, he was happy.
He would continue the A one standard of former Brent
House days.

EDITORIAL
The Record — What is it ? What does it mean to you ?
Does it mean a number of uninteresting printed pages
which come out twice each term and is labelled the School
magazine? Is it just somewhere you may find your own
name, in print, if you have made a touchdown or won a
Victory Bond? Or does it mean something more? Is it,
then, a living periodical which holds a real and constant
interest, which you look forward to reading, which you
cherish and will continue to prize when you leave T.C.S.?
Many of our Old Boys have found that it has meant
just that in the past. It has entered their homes carrying
welcome news of the old School and strengthening the un-
breakable bond between them and their successors. In re-
cent years it has found its way to the front lines of every
battlefield where it has helped pass many hours of tense
waiting.
The Record, as its name implies, is a record of events
that take place at T.C.S. That is its purpose. That is why
it is eternally cherished. That is why its appeal is so great
to our Old Boys who have left the marbled corridors and
the panelled dining hall behind.
Now, a record of experiences cannot be compiled and
written by one person. Even a group of boys finds it dif-
ficult, especially in a School like our own where life is quick-
moving and has many aspects. It is all the more difficult
if the co-operation and support of the School is not behind
the Record and its staff.
40 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
To allow the Record to fulfil its purpose we must re-
present each section, each form, each interest; nay, every
boy must have a share in its making. Therefore when we
are enjoying this happy Christmas season with our families
and friends, let us refresh ourselves with new ideas, ex-
periences and stories, so that, one and all, we may contri-
bute them to the Record in some form of prose or verse
or art. So let us to the task and privilege of making the
Record live with a personality acquired from the School
it truly represents.

THE TEAK-WOOD SHELF— A Seqnel
Whene'er I look into a book,
Which from the teak-wood shelf I took,
I dream of wondrous things.
Of Bonaparte, Pasteur, Moliere;
Of Frederick's friend, the great Voltaire,
Who wrote for many kings.
In England, too, were many men:
Keats, Byron, Shelley; others then.
To whom we owe our praise.
There's Shakespeare, Milton; many more
Including almost twenty score,
Who lived in glorious days.
And yet another book I take.
And notice names of men like Drake,
Or Nelson; sailors all.
Of Cartier, Cook, Cabot, and Scott
Who cross the stormy oceans fought
To answer heaven's call.
Of Wellington, the brave Iron Duke;
At Waterloo he gave rebuke
To Bonaparte, sedate.

FIFTH AVE., N.Y.
Along Fifth Avenue, New York's fashion centre, can
be seen what probably are the world's smartest women
and what, quite decidedly, are the world's worst dressed
men. Shops with extravagant show windows and plush in-
teriors line the Avenue and massive office buildings tower
above them. Brightly coloured taxis dart between the
more ponderous lorries and buses with squealing brakes
and clashing gears; pedestrians with apparent nonchalance
slip in and out of the flowing traffic. Along the sidewalks
and below the sea of men's panamas and women's, well . . .
hats, can be seen the harried faces of businessmen rush-
ing from one place to another, the lively faces of newsboys,
the bewildered faces of tourists; but predominant are the
time-worn and lined faces of people who have never known
real happinness, whose whole lives are devoted to the art
of making money. They live in a world of artificial and
superficial pleasures, they are pampered by the "toys" of
modem invention; it makes one wonder if our civilization
is all it is made out to be.
One can take a ride down the Avenue in a twin-decker
bus, the trip starting at Washington Square. There near-
ly two hundred years ago, Washington camped with his
troops. Looking South he might have seen the small but
growing town of New York, but East and West and North
he could have seen only a few scattered farm-houses and
the picturesque New England countryside, where the great
steel and concrete monuments to man's ingenuity now
stand. As the bus moves forward and passes under the
Washington Arch, the whole of Fifth Avenue stretches out
before one, clouded by the smoke of many factories. Far
off the Empire State Building rears its awe-inspiring tower.
At Fourteenth Street, the bus stops to take on a load of
42 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
perspiring shoppers who invariably crowd that street and
flow over into Fifth Avenue. As the bus approaches the
fashion centre, the shop windows become less crowded, but
each display article is made to stand out with coloured
lights and mirrors and glossy draperies. Then the bus
halts at Forty-Second Street to disgorge its load. The Pub-
lic Library is on the left, with its guardian lions and beau-
tiful Corinthian columns; and to the right, the Grand Cen-
tral Terminal can be glimpsed.
It is a fascinating sight to v^^atch the milling crowds
on either side of the bus. The profusion of colour, with
bright reds and greens, sparkling whites and shining
blacks all mingle to form a seething, multi-hued river of
life and action. The man along Fifth Avenue dresses with
no regard for taste ; colour is his only thought. He usually
wears a panama hat with a bright coloured band ; his gaudy
tie, is wrapped around the collar of an equally gaudy shirt;
his coat cannot be described, beyond that it is of many
materials and of peculiar design.
When the bus passes Rockefeller Centre on one side
and St. Patrick's Cathedral on the other, one becomes
aware that this is the fashion centre, for here the crowd
is not so flashily dressed. Instead, the clothes are more
select and show better taste, since the dresses one sees
along the side-walks are copied all over the world. Leaving
this expensive district, Central Park appears on the left,
like a rectangle of New England countryside in the middle
of the city; on the right there lies a thin fringe of stylish
apartment houses hiding the filthy slums of Harlem, Be-
yond this, the Avenue wanders aimlessly through the
squalor and dirt of slums that can only be found in such
huge cities, until finally it comes to a halt by the Harlem
River.
For all its individuality, colour and extravagance,
Fifth Avenue, or New York for that matter, has no soul
or spirit. Its people are not welded together by a solid
bond of tradition. Most New Yorkers have been there only
one generation and come from all comers of the earth,
mixing with one another but not blending. Even with a
great tradition and heritage. New York would have no
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 43
soul. Living there is too impersonal. Everything from
business to art and culture is commercialized. Life is too
artificial and mechanical. Each man lives his own life for
his own good. That is the price a cosmopolitan centre has
to pay for being cosmopolitan.

When they told me to write something funny,
I told them I didn't know how;
Their reply was: "We want it tomorrow, —
So you'd better start writing it now!"
I skimmed through the latest New Yorker,
I dug up back numbers of Punch;
It was Friday, you know what that means,
So I ate lots of Brain Food for limch.
But somehow I couldn't get started —
My mind was as blank as the page;

Then, to bed, I retired in a rage.

UNFORSEEN RAPTURE
Someone has described laughter as a faculty bestowed
exclusively upon the human race. This statement rever-
berated mockingly in Pongo's tormented cranium, forming
and reforming itself upon his lips as he stood trembling
with fury in the midst of a seething, jeering mob of howl-
ing schoolmates, wishing the more fervently with every
passing second that it had been bestowed exclusively upon
the animal kingdom instead; in fact, looking about him
through eyes bleared with rage and frustration, he wasn't
at all sure that it hadn't.
The situation which originally gave rise to such
mirth was, of course, positively fraught with humour —
to all, of course, but Pongo. It had materialized earlier
that Pongo's seat of affections had been considerably
stirred, aroused and otherwise smitten or sat upon by a
fair lady, Rosemary y-clept, whose excuse for existence
was discovered upon further examination to be in the
doubtful status of neice by marriage and nurse by appoint-
ment to the "Ginder", Mr. Pottlebottom, the maths, master
at Worthington, of whom it was common knowledge, that
unless he was conducting a maths, class with Euclid as
score and a slide rule as baton, he was most utterly at a loss.
Now it so happened that Mr. Pottlebottom, confirmedly in
his dotage and supposedly entering senility, compelled him-
self to indulge in, and imbibe huge quantities of, certain
patent medicines in order to stave off the encroachments of
numerous malignant, incurable, and entirely loathsome dis-
eases, which he, a hypochondriac of the first and foremost
water, suspected himself of harbouring. However, a situa-
tion appalling in its propensities and possibilities was being
concocted, the perpetration of which was assigned to the
bewildered, and unconsulted, but none the less passionate
Pongo; for his companions had arrived at the conclusion
that it was high time that he should manifest his devotion
to Rosemary in some manner more palpable than longing
looks and sighs of blast furnace dimensions, and it would
seem, they had decided that the form which this mani-
festation should assume would be that of a kiss. To a well-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 45
bred chap like Pongo, this, of course, went entirely against
the grain; nevertheless, when he had been forcibly per-
suaded into a state of involuntary unanimity, it was agreed
that upon Rosemary's next expedition to the village of
Worthington, Pongo should hasten to take concealment in
a thick hedge about half a mile from the school, from
whence he should precipitate himself upon her on her re-
turn and realize the ultimate satiation of his ardour.
In direct temporary parallel to this revelation, the
"Ginder" began to experience ominous rumblings in his mid-
section, which to him heralded unmistakably the approach
and immenent onslaught of one of his unmentionable afflic-
tions, and hastening, terror-stricken to his medicine closet,
discovered to his horror that the supply of the particular
pink balm, which he employed exclusively for the appease-
ment of such volanically inclined maladies was entirely ex-
hausted. Seized by panic, frightful to behold, he conducted
a one man stampede through the house, thundering from
room to room, and summoning Rosemary with a series of
blood-curdling yells. When she arrived breathless from
the garden, she found him raging in the midst of the de-
struction, clasping his midriff with one hand, and prostrat-

emitted a hideous elephantine roar, and trumpeting shrilly,

Rosemary's disordered retreat to Worthington was
noticed, not without interest, by several of the elect, who
immediately sought Pongo, and having administered a
verbal lashing, consisting mainly of threats of physical
violence, they drove him as a lamb to the slaughter to-
wards the predetermined place of ambush. After a short
wail, during which time Pongo's drooping spirits were
bolstered by methods not imknown in the Spanish Inquisi-
tion, footsteps were heard approaching swiftly from the
direction of the village. The footsteps, obviously feminine
by their rapidity, were almost directly in front of him. It
was now or never! Pongo would have been quite satisfied
with "never" but fearful of the gruesome consequences

burst of unreasoned fury, he burst through the hedge in a
breath-taking flying tackle, which effectively brought his
quarry down. Then, as if sensing his mastery of the situa-
tion, he leaned forward, blinded with bliss, and with closed
eyes, planted a warm and impassioned kiss on the lips of
the headmaster's wife!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The Editor
T.C.S. "Record",
Port Hope, Ont.
Dear Sir,
I am stirred by righteous indignation, and my wrath
waxes hot within me. Therefore I take up the cudgels on
behalf of the reputation of an Old Boy of T.C.S. , grievously
wronged in the columns of your publication.
Sir, I submit that in your account of the Old Boys'
football match (Vol. 48, No. 1, Oct., 1944, p's 54, 55) you
have been guilty of a flagrant breach of your time honour-
ed record for honesty and fair play.
In the last four lines of that account you mention that
'a costly fumble' was made by the Headmaster, a member
of the Old Boys' team. This statement definitely accuses
the said player of dropping the ball when he should have
held it, and it implies by the word "costly" that a player
of the opposing team recovered it and that a score was
made because of that fumble.
48 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
No player or spectator has been found who recalls any
such fumble; indeed it is manifestly ridiculous to suggest
that any T.C.S. Old Boy, schooled in the fundamentals of
football, would ever commit such an elementary error. In
the game under discussion, all the members of the Old
Boys' team were brilliant players, they consistently made
gains down the field through plays cleverly conceived
and expertly executed, and though they may have been
tempted to hand the ball to the opposing team in order to
give them a chance, they did not permit such a charitable
sentiment to overcome their hard business sense of making
profits at the expense of their weaker brethren.
Sir, this statement is an outrage; it casts aspersions
upon a member of a notable Old Boys' team, and it has
no basis in fact. The game cannot be replayed to prove
the point; the dastardly accusation lies in cold print for
all the world to read, generation after generation. Who
knows that these words will not become a "cause celebre"
between the grandchildren of the victim and those of the
guilty writer, perhaps resulting in a deadly rocket duel by
stratosphere.
The vile accusation may easily find expression on the
victim's tombstone in words such as these:
Here lies the body of PACK
He died maintaining the right of way;
In Old Boys' game he took a tumble
The "Record" called it "costly fumble".
Such slander cut him to the quick,
He said he thought it was a trick
To steal away his thunder —
At least a blatant blunder.
Again he read the sad account.
Ran to the barn, his bike did mount.
And roared into the blue;
Exhaust and dust behind him flew.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL REX^ORD 49
On, on, he rushed in fury cold,
The noise drowned words he used to scold
The perpetrator of the crime;
Resolved, he turned upon a dime
At forty miles an hour;
With broadside skid he lost the power
To keep his seat, off did he tumble—
The "Record" called it "costly fumble".

All ye who envy football fame
Take note: not only play the game
But make quite sure the "Record" scribe
Does not indulge in diatribe.
Yours most critically (in this particular),

IMPRESSIONS OF THE CAPTAIN
The 1944 football season at T.C.S. could be described,
I believe, as an excellent example of high school foot-
ball in all its elements. This does not necessarily mean
that we had an all-time championship team, but the spirit,
drive, ability, and team play shown in the squad vv^ere ex-
tremely good. Only once during all the games did the team
let down. That was in the first half of the U.C.C. game;
but in their brilliant offensive in the second half, I feel that
they more than made up for that one lapse.
Although two games were lost and one tied, it cannot
reflect on the players who continually gave their utmost in
fight and ability, and sustained their drive until the last
whistle of every game. Middleside started a "sixty minute"
slogan two years ago. which was taken up again by this
year's Bigside. The School had to come from behind in
every game, except when they blanked Peterborough, and
in every case they scored the last point. This, I believe,
is quite a record for a team which was continually out-
weighed, especially in the line. The dying moments of the
Ridley and U.C.C. games were top notch in anv man's
football.
At times, as always happens, the practices were
"slightly strained". However, you cannot help laughing
when you see the "Stick" - "dangling" down the field, or
"Weinie" madly grabbing at thin air after missing a down-
field tackle.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 51
Then there was the coach — he undoubtedly sweated
and smoked more "foot pounds of work" than the whole
team put together, although, to be honest, he cut himself
down to two packages a game! Most of our success in the
season was due directly to the Coach, and our hopes and
wishes go out to him to produce the Little Big Four champs
of '45. — E.J.M.Il.
IMPRESSIONS OF THE COACH
My reactions to writing these thumb-nail sketches of
Bigside players are comparable to those of a small boy
called upon to write an essay on "The Glories of a Sunset"
or "The Woods in Spring". I think you understand my
meaning. And like the small boy, I have to get it done
now, to-night, because the Sports Editor is waving a very
large stick over my head. So reluctantly to the task of
writing something nice about each of the twenty players
who received First or Half First Team Colours. I used to
make lists of suitable adjectives for every composition v/e
were called upon to produce. We had a teacher who re-
velled in adjectives and I dutifully worked mine in. For
instance, glorious, flamboyant, painted, fit a simset — so we
would have that the fading sun flung its flamboyant fingers
across the glorious sky. The teacher loved this stuff (she
later sought emotional escape by marrying the local plum-
ber). Personally I thought it was awful.
I have a list of forty-seven adjectives which seem to
be useful in describing rugby players. The list is divided
into two columns, one for linemen and the other for half-
backs. The first column includes such words as hard,
tough, charging, quick, spirited, alert; and the second
column contains crashing, fleet, dependable, etc. All I have
to do now is match adjectives and players and I shall be
able to look Editor Sinclair in the face tomorrow morning.
HUYCKE — Captain — Third year — Passing , kicking, buck-
ing, running, tackling backfielder (five adjective man).
Probably the best all-round player in the Little Big Four
this year.
52 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
McINTYRE— Co-Vice-Captain — Second Year — Rugged,
tough, hard blocker and deadly tackier (four adjective
man).
SINCLAIR — Co-Vice-Captain — Second Year — Tricky run-
ner, good passer, dependable quarterback, sure catch
(everyone drops one now or then), (four adjective man).
WADE — First year — Alert centre secondary; very reliable
tackier and excellent blocker; good spirit man (four ad-
jective man). Please note: all three, four and five adjec-
tive men received First Team Colours. Reader please
count adjectives for himself hereafter.
RICHARDSON — First year — Husky, fast, fleet runner and
one of the best in the group this year.
LAMBERT — First year — Hard tackier, good blocker and
pass catcher; he helped greatly to make the end runs go.
DEXDKER — First year — Crashing plunger, hard open field
runner, improved greatly over last year.
McMURRICH — First year — A very shifty runner, sure
catch, above average passer and excellent secondary de-
fense.
WILSON — First year — Good blocker, fair pass receiver (al-
most full marks for U.C.C. game) and good tackier. A
little too easily out-shifted by opposing halves.
Thus we have the backfield of this year's Bigside plus
the left end and centre secondary covered with twenty ad-
jectives and only three repetitions. As for the rest of the
line — outweighed in every game, once by as much as twenty
pounds per man — they need not take a back seat to any
line opposing them this year. Going from the left to the
right end of the line we have: —
GREENWOOD— First year — Our "big" left middle —
weighing all of one hundred and sixty pounds. Fair
blocker and ace defensive lineman, who made sure that
the left side of our line was seldom open.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 53
WARNER — Second year — Fiery as the hair on his head;
just the type to love the rugged play in the centre of the
line. A very good inside,
GILL AN — First year — His hair, such as the barber left on,
was not red (although his nose often was) but his play
at the other inside position was just as fiery as Warner's.
Both played sixty minutes all season.
VERNON — First year — Probably the most improved player
on the team. He played the blocking middle's position
and held up his end defensively.
DOBELL — Second year — (This forces me to cross-rough
my adjectives because he was backfielder and end). Very
fast, but not shifty as a backfielder; became a good
blocker and above average downfield tackier. End seems
to be his position.
FRENCH — First year — One hundred and forty pounds, so
well co-ordinated that he was able to bring down or block
out opponents much heavier than himself. Rated as the
best natural pass receiver on the team.
"A chain is only as strong as its v/eakest links" and all
that sort of thing. We had five other links to our chain —
Toole, Allen, Stokes, Phippen, Gilbert — but they were not
weak. Each helped to give the team uniform strength.
Toole substituted for Mclntyre and that was a job in itself.
At left end, he blocked fairly well, was good on downfield
tackling and seemed to be a sure pass-receiver. Allen and
Gilbert relieved Greenwood and Vernon. Allen was better
on offensive, not so strong defensively; the reverse seemed
to be the case for Gilbert. Phippen deserves great praise
for the way he filled the breach when Wade got his head in
the way of an Upper Canada plunger. Stokes did not get
much chance to play, but because we knew he could be re-
lied upon to take either Warner's or Gillan's place he was
awarded Half First Team Colours without any reservations.
Thus we have the Bigside squad of this year. We did
not win a championship but we certainly were not "skunk-
ed". (Apologies from the History Department to the Eng-
54 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
lish Department) . I believe the team played up to the best
of its abilities and no one should ask for more. As they
say in the Indian country where I come from "How, How!".

SCHOOL vs. RIDLEY
At Toronto, October 28
In a thrill-packed, fast-moving game, the School went
down fighting in their annual clash with Ridley, 27-15.
Despite the score, the School held their own against their
heavier opponents, and threatened until the final whistle.
For over half the game, T.C.S. seemed to be the better
team.
The School got the drop on the opening kick-off, when
illegal interference gave them the ball on the Ridley forty
yard line. The Ridley line stiffened, however, and the
School was forced to kick. Wade's recovery of a Ridley
fumble on the fifteen yard line gave the School another
chance, but again the Ridley line held. A field goal failed,
and Ridley gained possession. McFarlane battered his way
through the centre for two first downs but was finally held
and a good kick set the School back on their own twenty-
five yard line. McFarlane set up the first Ridley point by
running back a T.C.S. kick to the thirty yard line and from
there Davis kicked a single. Dobell gave T.C.S. their third
break when he recovered a fumbled kick in enemy territory.
Decker brought it to the ten yard line on an end run and
Huycke bucked it over, to put Trinity in the lead. The con-
vert failed. Ridley picked up another point before the
quarter ended when Davis kicked a single.
Ridley drove deep on two completed forward passes by
McFarlane, but Richardson stopped their drive by virtue
of an interception. The power of Ridley could not be
downed, however, and by continued bucking they carried it
to the one yard line where, after three tries, McFarlane
took it over on an end run. Barbour converted.
Without once losing the ball, the School plunged from
their own thirty-five yard line up the field to score. Decker
and Huycke did the ball carrying and Decker finally bucked
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 55
over from the five, for an unconverted major. But three
short kicks by T.C.S. gave Ridley the ball on the twenty-
five j^ard line. Quick to take advantage of the bieak, B.R.C.
tried a long pass; it was not caught but the referee ruled
interference which gave Ridley the ball on the five. Davis
then ploughed through the line to put Ridley back in the
lead. Barbour converted and the half-time score was 14-10.
Ridley kept T.C.S. in her own end from the start of
the second half, but good running by the Trinity backs kept
them from scoring until near the end of the period when
Davis kicked his third single. Ridley again forged ahead
when they recovered a fumble deep in the T.C.S. end zone.
A completed pass, and then a buck by Parker gave them
another major which was converted by Barbour, making
the score 21-10 at three-quarter time.
In the last quarter both teams opened up and the game
became faster. Ridley got their final touchdown early in
the period when McLaughlin bucked over from the five
yard line after Ridley recovered a fumbled kick. Ridley
got one more point on a single, but then T.C.S. came to
life. Richardson gained fifty yards on two flicker plays
which carried the School to the Ridley twenty-five. The
School got a first down on bucks and then Huycke scored
his second touchdo\vn. T.C.S. received the kick-off and
again marched up the field. Richardson ran forty yards
around the end on another flicker play to put the ball
in Ridley territory. A beautiful buck by Huycke carried
the team to the five yard line, but the advance was cut
short when the ball was fumbled; shortly after the final
whistle blew.
The School certainly has nothing to be ashamed of by
their showing. They played heads-up football all the way
and were beaten by a much heavier squad. Huycke played
the best game for the School, and Sinclair, Wade and
Warner were also outstanding. It was not, however, in-
dividual players who starred, but the team as a whole.
Ridley's best were McFarlane, Davis and McLaughlin,
whose play on both the offensive and defensive left nothing
to be desired.

SCHOOL vs. U.C.C.
At Toronto, November 4
A thrilling eighty-five yard touchdown march in the
closing minutes was the feature of the game which savv"^ the
School win a 12-7 victory over Upper Canada College in
their final Little Big Four encounter. Although unable to
make their plays click in the first half, T.C.S. came to life
in the last quarter and passed the College off their feet,
twice marching up the field — once for a single, and a second
time for a major score.
U.C.C. 's only touchdown came early in the game when
Gossage fell on a blocked Trinity kick on the T.C.S. twenty-
five yard line. A pass gave them a first down on the ten.
and then Cole scampered around the end for the score. Mc-
Laughlin kicked the convert and U.C.C. lead 6-0. The
School slowly gained ground by virtue of Huycke's superior
kicking and the running of Sinclair and Richardson. Fre-
quently kicking on second down, T.C.S. worked their way
up the field. A short kick by the College to their own thirty
yard line gave T.C.S. the break they worked for. On a
well-executed end run, McMurrich ran to the two yard line
and Huycke plunged over for a score. The convert failed
and T.C.S. was still trailing. U.C.C. again threatened when
McDougall recovered a fumbled kick in the Trinity end
zone. A pass from Spence to Leuty gave them a first on
the twenty yard line. Twice Richardson ran the ball out
of touch to save a score, but McLaughlin finally kicked a
rouge to put U.C.C. on top of a 7-5 score at half time.
The School was again hemmed in their own end in the
first part of the third quarter, but a beautiful twenty yard
run by Richardson brought the ball out of danger. Gillan's
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 57
recovered fumble in U.C.C. territory and an end run put
the ball in scoring position. The U.C.C. line held, however,
and they stopped three plays for a loss. After several ex-
changes of kicks. Trinity began to roll. Starting from
their own ten yard line, they marched uninterrupted up the
field on three passes — two from Huycke to Sinclair, and one
from Huycke to Wilson. At the U.C.C. ten yard line, they
were stopped and Huycke kicked a single to make the score
7-6. Trinity then started another drive from their own
thirty-five yard line, featuring two long passes from Huycke
to Mclntyre and Sinclair. A fumble on the U.C.C. twenty-
five yard line momentarily stopped the School, and good
kicking pushed T.C.S. back to their own fifteen. With time
failing rapidly, the School began their winning march. Mc-
lntyre received another twenty yard pass, two flickers
worked for a first down and a long Huycke-to- Wilson pass
clicked for thirty yards. Another flicker play carried Tri-
nity to the three yard line and after one buck failed, a
pass from Huycke to Sinclair was good for the winning
touchdown. Sinclair converted, making the score 12-7.
In a desperate attempt to score, U.C.C. completed one pass
but an interception by Sinclair ended the threat.
The comeback of the School in the last quarter was a
wonderful sight to see. They were not the same team that
started, and the drive they showed in the final quarter
proved them to be superior. Huycke's passing and kicking,
and the running of Sinclair and Richardson, stood out in
the backfield, while Mclntyre shone on the line. Again, it
was the whole team who won the game and not individuals.
Cole, McLaughlin and McDougall starred for the College.

58 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
HOUSE GAME
November 13
in the annual Bigside House game, Bethune emerged
victorious over a plucky but weaker Brent team 9-3. The
game v\'as evenly contested and Brent kept Bethune on their
toes all the time.
Bethune kicked off and during the quarter Brent was
held in their ovv^n end. Both teams were good defensively
and neither could start any serious ^offence. The only scor-
ing opportunity came late in the quarter when Toole re-
covered a Brent fumble. A penalty set them back and ihe
Bient line held to end the threat.
A blocked kick by Warner in the opening minutes of
the second quarter gave Bethune another chance, since
they gained possession of the ball on the Brent fifteen. A
buck and a pass failed and Sinclair ran a short kick out of
touch to save a point. Brent kicked and, after a first down
for Bethune on two flickers, Sinclair intercepted a Bethune
pass and ran to his own forty yard line before being tackled.
A Brent pass was intercepted by French, but Brent again
took possession when Fisher intercepted a flicker pass.
Brent was held and kicked short. A Bethune kick set them
back to their own twenty yard line. Another short kick
by Brent gave Bethune possession deep in enemy territory.
A flicker play gained a first down but Brent stiffened and
held them for no further gain. Bethune, however, broke
the scoreless deadlock on a beautiful field-goal by Huycke
to give them a o-O lead at hail-urnc.
Brent opened fast in the second half and gained pos-
session on their own forty yard-line on a Bethune fumble.
A thirty yard end run by Decker put them in scoring
territory, but Bethune held and they were forced to kick.
However, the kick was fumbled and Brent recovered again,
gaining the ball on the five yard line. They were held
on a buck and a pass and Decker finally evened the score
with a field goal. Bethune then began to roll; an end run
and a twenty yard buck by McMurrich brought the ball into
Brent territory. A lovely run-back out to the one yard
line by Sinclair saved a point for Brent, but a short kick
put Bethune in position again and this time liuvc^'e sue-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 59
ceeded in kicking the single. Immediately afterwards
Toole fell on a blocked Brent kick on the fifteen yard line
and, after one buck had failed, McMurrich scored on an
end run to give Bethune a 9-3 lead. The convert failed.
In the last quarter Bethune was kept in its o^ati end,
and a hard-charging line saved any possible scares. Im-
mediately after the kick off, Sinclair intercepted a pass on
the Bethune forty yard line and from there a long pass to
Mclntyre gave them the ball on the three yard line. The
Bethune forward wall rose to the occasion and stopped
two bucks for no gain and knocked down a flicker to end
the Brent threat. Brent kept pressing for the rest of the
period but Huycke's lovely kicking kept them out until the
closing minutes of the game, when a twenty yard Roenisch-
to-Sinclair pass was completed on the Bethune twenty yard
line. Brent got a first down on a buck and an end run
but the game ended with no further score.
Like all House games, this one was well played and
hard fought and the outcome was not certain until the final
whistle. Hubie Sinclair's running and Ed. Huycke's kick-
ing were the outstanding features of the game. Mclntyre
and Decker also stood out for Brent, while French i, Warner
and McMurrich starred for Bethune.

MIDDLESIDE
IMPRESSIONS OF THE COACH
After learning to work together last year on Littleside,
the whole team moved up to Middleside this season; here,
building on the knowledge of basic essentials acquired last
year and strengthened by the addition of some talented
newcomers, they have gradually developed into a co-opera-
tive, well-balanced unit. Fortunate in a long schedule of
60 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
games which enabled them to put their theory learned
throughout the season to a practical test, they made their
enthusiasm for the game and "never-say-die" spirit com-
pensate for their comparative youthfulness and inex-
perience in a league permitting the use of any six seven-
teen-year-olds per game.
As could be said of almost any team, there might be
one or two players to whom all felt extra credit for the
general success should go, but so truly a Middleside have
they been, that impartial outsiders have been heard to re-
mark they were all uniformly good, functioning as a unit,
with few, if any, extremely outstanding, and none very
poor.
In spite of work, hard, steady and exacting, the spirit
evidenced in the grind of practices and the strain of games
was one to inspire friendship and enthusiasm among all.
Each and every boy was concerned with the team's wel-
fare as a whole and willing to let his alternate play or his
teammate win the prominence, if it seemed to Middleside's
advantage.
The Ridley game, in the opinion of those who saw it,
clearly showed Middleside's marked ability; their showing
in that game alone could encourage them to hope that they
might be found capable of attaining the aim of all football
players at T.C.S. next fall.

SCHOOL vs. COBOUIIG
At Cobourg, October 18
In their first game at Cobourg, Middleside took C.C.I.
12-6 in a closely fought battle. Soon after the kick off,
T.C.S. moved down the field to get a point on a kick by
Curtis. Cobourg had a chance to even the score but could
not push the School over the line. Curtis then went over
on a buck for an unconverted touch, giving T.C.S. a 6-0
lead at the end of the first half.
Cobourg kicked off and forced the School back, but a
pass from French to Bowles pulled T.C.S. into kicking posi-
tion. C.C.I, fumbled and Gibson recovered behind the line

SCHOOL vs. LAIiEFIELD
At Port Hope, November 15
In their final game of the season, Middleside trounced
the Grove 33-6 in a fast moving and exciting game. Al-
though the weather was cold, Middleside's passing led them
to victory.

up with an offensive which brought them to the School's

HOUSE GAME
November 18
On a wide open game, marred by frequent fumbles,
Brent Middleside defeated a fighting Bethune team, 17-2.
Despite the score, the game was undecided until the final
quarter, when a powerful Brent drive netted them two
touchdowns and the game.
Bethune kicked off and after only a few minutes of
play, O'Grady picked up a blocked kick, and raced forty
yards for the first score, which Bird converted, to give
Brent an early lead. At the start of the second period, an
attempted field goal by French ii failed, but Roenisch was
caught behind his own line for a single, making the score
6-1. Brent then marched up the field, only to have a touch-
down pass fail and Bethune replied with a march of their
own, climaxed by two French-to-Hawke passes. Brent held
and Lawson took them out of danger with a brilliant fifty
yard buck, as the half ended.
Brent kicked to open the second half and a Rogers-to-
Goodbody pass put Bethune in scoring territory, where a
fumble destroyed their chances. During the rest of the
quarter, the play remained even, fumbles counteracting
any advantages, until, early in the last quarter, Pearson i
kicked another single to make the score 6-2. The rest of
the game was dominated by a charging Brent team. Law-
son bucked for five points, and on the last play of the game
an end run pass from Roenisch to Bird was good, and Bird
converted to make the final score 17-2.
The bucking of Lawson and the all around play of
O'Grady, Bird and Roenisch stood out for Brent while
Pearson's kicking, the line play of Hawke and Grier and
the passing of French ii showed up well for Bethune.

LITTLESIDE
SCHOOL vs. U.C.C.
At Toronto, October 28
Littleside was edged out by Upper Canada 12-10 in a
game that was in doubt right up to the final whistle.
U.C.C. kicked off and play remained in the School end.
Taking advantage of a fumble, Upper Canada scored a con-
verted touchdown. In the second quarter T.C.S. showed a
strong offensive and marched the length of the field for a
major score, Payne earring it over.
Opening the second half with new strength, Littleside
scored in short order when Wells took Roger's pass for an
unconverted touch to lead 10-6. Proving to have superior
kicking hov/ever, the College advanced towards the School
line, and scored a single point. Again due to their good
kicking, U.C.C. moved into scoring position, and carried it
across for the winning touchdown. In the closing minutes
of the game T.C.S. threatened, but fell just short of their
mark.

SCHOOL vs. LAKEFIELD
At Port Hoi)e, November 1
This was Littleside's third game of the season and it
ended in a victory of 15-1 for the School.
Lakefield kicked off and gaining possession, bucked
their way up the field in very quick order, to kick a single.
The School then pressed for the rest of the quarter, and on
the Grove's ten yard line a bad snap was quickly snatched
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 67
up by Hall, who ran over the Grove line for an unconverted
touchdown.
After this, the Grove attacked, and Beeve made a forty
yard gain on an end run. But T.C.S. completed two passes
from Rogers to Wells to keep the School in safety. The
Grove got a break when they retrieved a T.C.S. fumble,
which Langmuir ran for fifty yards, but the powerful T.C.S.
line held and then began to push them until Rogers scored
the School's second touch.
In the second half, play was even, and centered mainly
around the two hard fighting lines, until Lakefield opened
up and began to throw many passes. An interception and
a thirty yard run by Rogers was good for another School
score. The game ended with the final score of 15-1 for
T.C.S.
Both teams played well, but Wells, Crowe, Rogers and
Gaunt were the most outstanding for T.C.S., while Lang-
muir, Beeve and Ker starred for the Grove.

SCHOOL vs. U.C.C.
At Toronto, November 4
Littleside, in its last game of the year, lost a very good
game to a stronger U.C.C. team 13-0. In the first quarter
U.C.C. kicked off and gained possession of the ball at the
T.C.S. forty-five yard line, where they were held for a vv^hile
until Murphy broke through on a buck to score an uncon-
verted touchdown. After this, and for the rest of the first
half, U.C.C. prevented Littleside from gaining any yards at
all, until the School broke through for a good gain on a
long end run, which was only to be regained by long kicks
by U.C.C.
In the second half, U.C.C. still held Littleside and after
many long end runs and bucks, they scored two rouges on
kicks by Kent. Retaliating, T.C.S. marched up the field
but missed several chances to score. Finally in the last
6g TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
minutes of the game, after holding T.C.S. in their end for
a whole quarter, Murphy of U.C.C. bucked over again for
an unconverted touchdown.
The starring players for U.C.C. were Kent and Murphy
while for T.C.S., Rogers, Goodbody and Wells were out-
standing.

Littleside "B" won their second straight game when
they defeated Port Hope 23-7. Port Hope took possession
from the start and marched up the length of the field for
a touchdown. Bailey carried it over. The convert was
good. Cumming evened the score when he skirted the end
for the first School touch. Bailey kicked a rouge to put
Port Hope once more in the lead. A McPherson-to-Pratt
pass set up the School's second touch. Cumming scored
on a smash through centre. Port Hope opened up a passing
attack in a vain hope to tie the score, but Whitfield inter-
cepted and ran the remaining distance for a major score.
The convert was completed. In the closing minutes of the
game, Wilson completed McPherson's pass to score another
converted touchdown. Pratt, Brodeur, Whitfield and Mc-

The second Littleside squad lost for the first time,
against a much stronger Lakefield team than they had play-

struggle.
Lakefield drew first blood half-way through the first
period when they bucked over for a major from the five
yard line. Wailling converted.
The School evened it up near the end of the first half
by virtue of a touchdown by Taylor ii. A Cumming-to-
Paterson iii pass was good for the convert.
TTie last half was very even with very good play all
the way through. The kicking on both sides kept the play

passing to Wells, Wilson and Gumming finally drove them
back. Before the first half had ended, Wilson caught a

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 71
1944 SOCCER
IMPRESSIONS OF THE COACH
We have always maintained that the chief purpose of
playing games is to find enjoyment, and that whatever
success may attend the efforts of a team, if the element
of joy is missing, then in our opinion, this means failure.
For games to be enjoyed, the first essential is harmony
within the team, and the basis of this harmony is the iDaace
of mind of the individual players. If they are harassed
with pressure demanding victory, the emotional atmosphere
in which the game is played may make virtually imposGiblo
the calmness necessary for playing the best soccer. The
1944 season has been marked by a most harmonious spirit
in the team, and we feel that the games have been
thoroughly enjoyed. On these grounds then we feel that
the season has been a most successful one.
The beginning of the season found us with a nucleus
of experienced players, and round that nucleus we were
able to build a team which was very powerful in attack,
although not quite so strong in defence. The forward line
consisting of Conyers ii (left v\'mg). Brewer (inside left),
Dawson (centre forward). Barber (inside right) and Cox i
(right wing) was always dangerous. They showed what
they could do in both the Upper Canada matches, especially
the second one, and also in the game against Trinity Col-
lege. Hare (right half) played an excellent offensive and
defensive game. Cox ii (centre half) and Nicholson (left
half) played hard but were inclined at times to play too
72 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
far back and to hang on to the ball too long. Butterfield
(right back) came on wonderfully and his performance in
the final match of the season was brilliant. Edmonds (left
back) has a powerful kick and in the earlier part of the
season was very effective. Ingham, considering that this
is his first season as a goalkeeper, played very well.
We were very glad to play the matches against the
R.A.F. and learnt much from their display. On all occa-
sions, except the last match against Mountain View, the
R.A.F. teams were markedly superior in skill and ex-
perience. We should like to thank the officers and men
of the Air Force at Mountain View for their hospitality.
The addition of Trinity College to our list of fixtures
is most welcome and we hope that it will become an annual
encounter and that next year, the College will be able to
send a team down to Port Hope to play us. We feel that
the Trinity College game was the best of the season, finely
contested and full of interest to the final whistle. The
Upper Canada team was not so strong as that of last year.
They played hard but had neither the combination nor in-
dividual skill of our players.
This impression would be incomplete without mention
of the excellent, unobtrusive leadership of Cox i, who be-
sides playing an outstanding game as an individual and as
a member of a most dangerous combination with Barber
and Brewer, showed qualities of sound judgment which
proved a most valuable asset to the side.
Altogether a most successful season. V\^e might even
borrow the words of a colleague and say, "Another golden
page has been added to the annals of the School".

SCHOOL vs. MOUNTAIN VIEW
At Mountain View, October 25
The School played their return game with Mountain
View against an almost entirely different eleven, and were
overwhelmed by a superior Air Force team. Hampered by
a strong wind, the School could not produce the scoring
punch they needed, and the Mountain View team ran up a
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 73
4-0 lead by half time. In the second half the passing of
the T.C.S. forwards did not click and the Air Force added
nine more goals. Mountain View were definitely a smooth-
passmg team, and outplayed the School throughout. The
final score was 13-0 for the Air Force.
Mountain View — ^White, Parker, Tatlock, Wiltshire, Foster, Mc-

SCHOOL vs. U.C.C.
At Toronto, November 4
The return game with U.C.C, played on the Upper
Canada field was undoubtedly one of the best matches of
the season. The brilliant playing of the forward line, com-
bined with the strong clearing of the backs and steady
support of the halves resulted in a decisive win for the
School. Upper Canada set the pace in the first few minutes
of the game when they scored on a surprise break-away.
However, T.C.S. recovered quickly and began a sustained
drive on their opponents' goal in which Cox scored the
first two goals for the School. To this, Brewer and Daw-
son each added two more before half time. In the second
half the accurate passing of the line again proved effective.
both wings supplying the inside forwards with scoring
passes. Conyers ii also notched a goal on a clever shot
from the wing. Upper Canada rallied several times through-
out the last half and were successful in scoring two more
very good goals on break-aways before the final whistle.
For Upper Canada, Mercer played a formidable game
at centre half, while Peniston was dangerous in the forward
line. Butterfield played very well on the School defence
while all on the forward line gave an exceptionally good
account of themselves. The final score stood at 12-3.

SCHOOL vs. MOUNTAIN VIKW
At Port Hope, November 15
The School played Mountain View R.A.F. for the third
time, and were defeated 11-3. In the first few minutes of
play White out-manoeuvred the backs and scored. How-
ever, T.C.S. then opened up a strong forward attack and
soon Brewer shot a goal, levelling the score. The School
XI. kept up their pressure and with the good clearing of
Butterfield and the support of Hare, the forward line
proved to be effective and were rewarded by another goal
headed in by Dawson.
Mountain View rallied and scored three goals in quick
succession, this making the game 4-2 at half time. The
Air Force team maintained this strong attack in the second
half v/ith good passing. Barber, due to a previous leg in-
jury, was unable to continue playing and Dobell substituted
for him. The Air Force's continuous accurate passing
proved to be disastrous for T.C.S. However, Brewer scored
again on a breakaway. When the final whistle had sound-
ed the Air Force had amassed seven more goals, this
making the final score 11-3.
For Mountain View, Masteld, Tatlock, White and Yar-
wood starred, whilst Brewer, Butterfield, Cox i. and Cox ii.

SCHOOL \Ti. MOUNTAIN VIEW
At Mountain View, November 18
The Soccer team played their last game of the season
at Mountain View, once again being beaten by this team.
In the first half the School faced a light wind and were
quite successful in defending their goal. Play was indeci-
sive and it was some time before the Air Force scored
their first goal. Ingham was beaten by another lonji: shot
before T.C.S. really began to move. Brewer scored from
close in on a very neat shot, and momentarily the Moun-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 75
tain View team seemed to be taken a little off balance by
the repeated sallies of the School forwards. However, be-
fore half time, they were able to establish a lead of 6-3 by
virtue of their accurate shooting. T.C.S. came back strong-
ly in the second half with Cox i scoring two goals from
close in. Mountain View, however, held doggedly to their
lead by fast, accurate playing on the part of their inside
forwards. Conyers ii closed the scoring on a brilliant shot
from a very difficult angle on the wing, leaving the final
score at 10-6 for Mountain View. White again played a
fine game for the Air Force, as did MacNeill, Wiltshire and
Tatlock, while Conyers ii, Butterfield i and Cox i stood out
for the School.

HOUSE GAME
October 30
The Bigside House game was won by Bethune 12-2.
Although the play was not as the score would suggest,
Bethune, made up of ten members of the first eleven, held
the edge throughout.
Cox i was the first marksman for Bethune, and was
followed closely by Brewer who headed the ball for a two
goal lead. Smith counted Brent's only goal of the first half.
One by Dobell i and Dawson and two by Brewer completed
the scoring of the first half.
Bethune were slow to score in the second half, but
Brewer finally broke through to start a barrage. Conyers ii,
Dobell i, and Cox i each added counters before Brewer com-
pleted his fifth successful shot of the game. Barber re-
taliated when he scored on a beautiful solo effort for Brent's
second goal. Dawson ended the scoring to give Bethune a
12-2 decision.
Cox i and Brewer starred for Bethune while Barber
played spectacularly for Brent.

MIDDLESIDE
IMPRESSIONS OF THE COACH
Our Middleside soccer this year was not as powerful
a team as last year's owing to the fact that we had to use
most of our best players to form a second team for Big-
side. The boys who played with and against our "stars"
proved themselves expert and valuable. They tried out
their mettle in playing two games against Upper Canada.
The score in both games, although very low, was against
us, yet the playing showed some talent that promised well
for next year.
Tony Barrow and Ian Campbell were elected Captain
and Vice-Captain of Middleside. Their initiative and enter-
prising spirit for organization helped much in keeping soc-
cer up to the standard of former years.

SCHOOL vs. U.CC.
At Toronto, November 4
Middleside played their second game against U.CC. in
drizzling rain. The going was hard and although Barrow
scored the first goal, Gibbons of U.CC. scored both the
equalizing and winning goals. The game was very slow
throughout and it was touch and go for both teams, with
each missing excellent chances to score. The hopes that
the tying goal would be scored before full time, were dash-
ed when the game ended with the School pressing hard.

SCHOOL vs. LAKEFIELD
At Lakefield, November 29
Middleside journeyed to Lakefield to play the Grove
where the playing field was as hard as rock and covered
with snow. Despite the cold weather and hard ground,
quite a good game developed. The School started slowly
and after negotiating several tight spots, including the re-
moval of Gordon due to a knee injury, Allen succeeded in
breaking the Grove defense with a hard shot. Play see-
sawed back and forth for the rest of the half with the
School protecting its lead. Lakefield organized several
ganging attacks but T.C.S. successfully waded olf the Grove
until, with about three minutes remaining, Sinclair tied the
score from a muddle in front of the goal. The score stayed
tied for the remainder of the game with Allen and the other
forwards desperately attempting to score the winning goal.
Allen, Scott i, and Conyers i were best for the School.

HOUSE GAME
Noveinber 13
Bethune House defeated Brent in a closely contested
game of 3-0. During the first half there was no score and
it was still either team's game. Bethune's constant attacks
however, led by Campbell i finally resulted in two quick
goals, one by Campbell and the other by Barnes. Twice
Brent almost evened the score, until Hardaker of Bethune
drove home a final point to end the game.

LITTLESIDE
IMPRESSIONS OF THE COACH
The Littleside soccer team was substantially the same
as last year's. By keeping each player to his own position
throughout the season we succeeded in obtaining some good
and sound team work, which, developed and perfected,
should give us a first class Bigside team in the near future.
All the boys on Littleside showed keenness and en-
thusiasm in trymg to play the game scientifically. Dicky
Butterfield, as Captain, Jack Hughes, as Vice-Captain, Mar-
tin McDowell as centre forward, and others displayed real
ability as potential first team players.
For the first time in the history of our School, Little-
side went to Toronto to play a Toronto Public School, the
Maurice Cody School. We lost that game but we won quite
brilliantly the return match, in which our boys showed team
spirit at its best.
Coaching soccer this season was a very pleasant job
thanks to the willing co-operation we had from all the
players and we are looking forward to an even better and
more successful season next year.

SCHOOL vs. MAURICE CODY SCHOOL
At Toronto, November 11
In Littleside's first game, Maurice Cody School turned
them down 1-0. Though they had the edge most of the
time, T.C.S. was blocked from many chances to score by a
stalwart Maurice Cody defense. Play in the first half was
fairly even, but after half-time, the ball remained in the
Maurice Cody end of the field most of the time. Playing a
defensive game, they managed to hold back the surging
attack of the School forwards till well on in the second half,
when a Maurice Cody rush overpowered the T.C.S. de-
fense for the lone goal made by Woods. After this T.C.S.
pressed but the final attempt to tie it up was checked and
there was no further score. Woods, small, but fast and
tricky, was outstanding for Maurice Cody. Barnes starred
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 79
for T.C.S., in goal for the first half; and as a forward in the
second half certainly deserved a goal on his play. In-
dividually Littleside played well, but lacked the combina-
tion necessary for success.

In their second game against Maurice Cody School,
Littleside turned them down 3-0. Maurice Cody School
played well but they were no match for the superior T.C.S.
team. The first goal was scored by McDowell on a scramble.
Sanborn kicked in another on a beautiful pass from Hughes.
Towards the end of the game, Prentice scored the best
goal for T.C.S. from the wing on a high shot which slipped
into the upper corner of the goal. Woods played well for
Maurice Cody while the School team played excellently as
a whole. The final score was 3-0.

of both teams, but before ends changed, Huddard put Lake-
field ahead. Fighting hard to overcome the lead, the T.C.S.
forwards were finally rewarded, when Paterson rang up the
lone T.C.S. goal. There was no further score.

THE ANNUAL OXFORD CUP CROSS-COUNTRY RACE
November 10
The Oxford Cup this year was run over a muddy
course, and the fast time of 24 minutes, 54 seconds was
especially good, considering the conditions. Competition
was very keen and interest ran high for weeks before the
race.
First in over the four mile stretch was Cox i, closely
followed by Howard who had paced him for the last mile
and a half to within a few hundred yards of the finish.
Cox ii, Stratford and Barber placed third, fourth and fifth
to clinch the honour positions. Special mention ought to
be made of George Day who ran part of the way with a
broken bone in his leg; though he thought it was merely a
sprain. The first nine boys finished in under twenty-seven
minutes, a splendid effort.
Brent won the race by a narrow margin having the

Our best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a very
Happy New Year to all at the Junior School.
The Hallowe'en party was a very successful event of
this term. The costumes were very good indeed and show-
ed much ingenuity on the part of the people who "created"
them. The judges had a difficult time trying to decide on
the winners. A new feature in the games was a Masters
block race! Prizes were awarded as follows: First prize
for Best Costume, "The Spotted Cow" (Wyman, Panet,
Gill) ; Honorable Mention "First Aid Detachment" (Gate,
Hogarth, Herridge) ; Prize for Funniest Costume "The Rab-
bit" (van Straubenzee) ; Prize for Most Original Costume
"The Hoarder" (Saunders).
About fifty new books have been added to the Library
this year and good use is being made of them. With the
return to the market of model aeroplanes, the Hobby Room
has taken on a new lease of life and some very good flying
models are in production.
We are most grateful to Huycke, Sinclair, Hope and
Roenisch for the help they so willingly gave us in refereeing
our rugby games. They did a good job and it was much
appreciated by everybody.
Our sincere thanks to Bob Briden for a gift of two new

A "GORPY" TALE
The night was dark and dreary,
And the wind howled through the trees;
I was sleeping very soundly
Till awakened by a sneeze.
And then around me I did look,
And found me in a "lab";
My head was resting on a book.
My feet were on a slab.
A "gorpy" looking character,
Was working at a bench;
And from the test-tubes in his hands.
There arose on awful stench.
He turned around and looked at me,
And said: "Ah! you're awake;
And now I shall carve you up,
For the Zombies' sake".
"You see, the men that brought you here,
Are Zombies in my care.
Their human parts are showing
Strong signs of wear and tear".
"Now let me see, I need a nose.
An eye, and lots of teeth,
And different parts which you possess,
The Zombies to bequeath".
He took a knife and sharpened it,
With evil in his eye;
I looked at him and then I knew.
That I was going to die.
He came closer, ever closer.
With that evil in his eyes;
And, as he pricked my throat, I felt
My hair begin to rise.
86 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
He took a fiendish sweep, and then,
I knew my end was there;
I said my prayers, and for a change,
I said then with much care.
My past life flashed before me,
I saw the wrong I'd done.
Suddenly I then woke up,
To be blinded by the sun.

ESCAPE FROM MURDER
It was a desperate battle. It was fighting more fiercely
than I had ever seen one fight. It felt like fifty pounds at
least. I could hardly keep it from breaking away. It
quieted down for a second until I thought I had almost lost
it, then, suddenly it darted to the full length of the line
and it took all my strength to hold it from breaking my
line. This certainly must hold the record of all our records!
It fought like a wild bull! Then it quietened down for a
second, like the first time, until I was sure it had got away;
then, as before, it darted right up to the surface and broke
the still water. With a faint splash a small fish broke the
water and I was maddened at the thought of reeling in a
six inch perch from the bottom of the lake.
"Poor little thing", said my sister looking up from her
book at the other end of the boat.
"Aw, isn't he cute", said I; but in truth I felt like per-
forming cold blooded murder on the poor innocent little
fish.
"Put him back quickly", yelled my sister.
In disgust I threw him as far as I could throw him.
Afterwards the thought came to me that I could have used
him for bait!

A CHEMIST'S NIGHTMARE
"I've got it! I've got it!" exclaimed Zachary Scott as
he lowered the misty test-tube into its wire holder.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 87
Semplan University's head chemist took a musty hand-
kerchief from the breast pocket of his smock and applied
it to his forehead with a contented sigh.
Zachary Scott was a man of about thirty who fitted the
description of "tall, dark and handsome" to a tee. He'd
really been a chemist all his life, starting with a little acci-
dent in his uncle's barn. Scott had been working on a new
formula which he called Blue Nitroline from the time he
had joined the staff of the University, two years ago.
At last the experiment was complete. Blue Nitrolene.
the most powerful acid yet. Blue Nitrolene, that can eat its
way through the toughest steel in seconds was created at
the hands of Zachary Scott, chemist. Weary from months
of work, Scott flopped on to the army cot in the corner ot
the laboratory and fell into a dreamy sleep.
Zachary Scott arose and looked around the laboratory.
He must have been sleeping for hours, he must get back to
his vrork for there Vv^as no time to lose. He turned up the
Bunsen burner to about half full, took the special container
with the Blue Nitrolene in it and placed it in the holder over
the blue flame. Then he took a piece of Litmus paper out
of an envelope and placed it over the container. If the
Litmus paper re-acted he would have succeeded. Minutes
went by, still there was no reaction. Scott was nervous
now and his gaze was steady on the paper. Suddenly there
was a crash and a tingling of glass ! He whirled on impulse
and as he did his hand knocked over the container with its
deadly contents. The Blue Nitrolene began to spread, it
ate its way through the bench and began to eat a great
hole in the floor. If it was not stopped it would eat its
way under the laboratory resulting in its collapse. Some
sixth sense warned Scott, but it was too late to avoid the
falling beam, there was a dull thud and then he was falling
— falling — falling into a pit of dark nothingness.
Scott rubbed his eyes and started to get up from the
cot, but a sharp pain at the back of his head made him
groan and relax again. He felt the vicinity of the pain and
found a large lump. At the foot of the cot lay a granite
stone and under the laboratory bench there was another
88 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
one which some mischievous boy had thrown through the
window. Scott suddenly reaUzed that what had happened
was really a dream and that the shattering glass and the
falling beam had been the rocks. Glad, that this little
episode had brought the lethal possibilities of Blue Nitro-
lene to his mind, he would destroy it for ever as a public
enemy and an uncontrollable menace.

ATHLETICS
Rugby
Captain of Rugby A. G. T. Hughes
Vice-Captain of Rugby N. F. Thompson
The Rugby team this year will go down as one of the
best teams the J.S. has had for several years. The strength
of any team lies in the ability of the individuals on it to
play together as a unit; the team this year showed all
through the season that they had this ability. In two of
our games we started out on the short end of a score, but
managed to come from behind to tie it up. This is also
one of the earmarks of a good team, especially in Junior
football. Excellent tackling and plunging were probably
the main features of the team's play. Great credit should
also be given to the often unspectacular, but nevertheless
essential work of the players in the line. They did their
job well in all our games. The switch-over from the hud-
dle system to signals seems to have worked well. It did
much to speed up our play and to produce quicker thinking
on the part of the players. All of our games were very
closely contested and the season's record of two wins, two
losses, and one tie may be considered a very satisfactory
one.

SCHOOL vs. S.A.C.
At Port Hope, October 21
The School got off to a rather shaky start due to a
fumble on S.A.C.'s kick-off to us. This proved very costly
as it resulted in a touchdown during the first three minutes
of the game. The convert was blocked by T.C.S. Later
on in this first quarter S.A.C. again found themselves in a
position to score and kicked for a rouge. The School came
back very strongly in the second quarter and scored a
touchdo\\Ti on an intercepted forward pass by Boulden. The
first half ended with the score at 6-5 for S.A.C. The play
was very even for the last half of the game with both sides
going all-out. A kick by Knox brought T.C.S. a rouge dur-
ing the third quarter and S.A.C. scored an unconverted
touchdown towards the end of this quarter on a blocked
kick. Neither side scored in the fourth quarter. Final

SCHOOL vs. LAKEFIELD
At Lakefield, October 26
This game was a very hard-fought and close one from
beginning to end. Lakefield opened the scoring in the first
quarter with an unconverted touchdov/n on a breakaway
by Ketchum. Both teams had some good opportunities to
score before half-time, but failed to make the best of them.
T.C.S. pressed very strongly throughout the third quarter
scoring an unconverted touchdown on a forward pass from
Thompson ii to Hughes. A kick for a rouge by Knox dur-
ing the fourth quarter put T.C.S. ahead until the last two
90 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
minutes of the game when Ketchum rouged T.C.S. to tie
the score. Final score: T.C.S. 6, Lakefield 6.

SCHOOL vs. RIDLEY
At Upper <. aJiada, October 31
Played under ideal weather conditions, this game
stands out as the best of the entire season. Ridley had an
excellent team and were a constant threat due to the out-
standing running of their captain who contributed a major
part of their score. T.C.S. showed greater strength in
plunging and line work and on several occasions moved the
yardsticks right down the field, but failed to capitalize on
their opportunities. The tackling of both teams was very
good. Ridley got off to a very quick start and scored two
touchdowns on end runs (one unconverted) during the first
quarter. The second quarter saw T.C.S. stage a come-back
which netted them a rouge. The School definitely domina-
ted the entire third quarter v/ith Stratford scoring an un-
converted touchdown. Another touchdown was scored on
a run by Thompson i and Thompson ii from behind our own
goal line; this, however, was called back on an offside pass
and one point awarded to Ridley. Ridley showed a great
return to form in the last quarter scoring two converted
touchdowns. During the last five minutes of play T.C.S.
came back strongly, driving from their own ten yard line
to the Ridley five, but were unable to do more than kick for
a rouge. Final score: Ridley 24, T.C.S. 7.
T.C.S. — Hughes (Capt.), Thompson i, Thompson ii, Boulden, Bro-
deur, Startford, Knox i, Ketchum i, Chester, McConnell, Howard,
Lawson. Subs: Graham, Rogers, Mackenzie i.
SCHOOL vs. LAKEIFIELD
At Port Hope, November 10
The return match with Lakefield proved just as close
a contest as the first game. T.C.S. used the on-side kick to
great advantage during the whole game and got their first
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 91
score when Hughes recovered an on-side kick in the first
quarter and ran for a touchdown which he also converted.
Lakefield came back with a converted touchdown during the
second quarter and the score was tied at half-time. Kiiox
made a good run for a touch during the third quarter and
Hughes kicked the convert. Lakefield scored a rouge dur-
ing the same period. An unconverted touchdown by Lake-
field in the last quarter tied up the score again until about
the last play of the game when Knox kicked a rouge for
the winning point. Stratford's plunging for T.C.S. was an
outstanding feature of the game. Final score: T.C.S. 13,
Lakefield 12.

HOUSE GAMES
Because our schedule of School games ran on later than
usual, it was not possible to play the three game series in
Inter-House Rugby which we have been running for the
past three or four years. Although a "sudden death" game
had been decided on, it was still necessary to play two
games as the first one was a draw 6-6. The first half of
the second game saw a lot of fumbles by both teams and
the ball changed sides frequently. Orchard showed greater
strength, up to half time scoring two unconverted touch-
downs to Rigby's one. Heavy tackling by both sides kept
the second half of the game scoreless. Final score: Orchard
10, Rigby 5.

At Port Hope: T.G.S. 3, Lakefield 0.
SCHOOL vs. CRESCENT
At Toronto, November 1. — At Port Hope, November 14
The two games with Grescent showed some excellent
soccer on both sides. In the first game the School opened
the scoring on a goal by Foster followed shortly by a goal
for Grescent to make the scored tied at half time. Grescent
showed greater strength in the second half scoring two
goals, although T.G.S. had some good chances to score.
Final score: Grescent 3, T.G.S. 1.
The School played its best game of the season in the
return game. They played good, aggressive soccer from
the beginning and scored their first goal early in the game.
Although they threatened several times, they did not score
again in the first half. About the middle of the second half
the School scored again and the game ended with a strong
drive by Grescent which did not, however, bring them any
score. Final score: T.G.S. 2. Grescent 0.
Soceer Team: — Wyman i, Ketchum ii, McDerment, Panet, Pitt,

its objective and co-ordinated the defence of his own and
the Battalion on his right. After the initial assault pro-
gress was slow and his Battalion was ordered to push on
with all haste in order to ensure that the high ground
which was the final objective was secured before dark.
That this operation was successfully carried out was large-
ly due to the personal drive of this Officer On 11 June,
1944, when his Battalion was supporting an Armoured At-
tack this Officer personally accompanied his two leading
Companies. Strong enemy resistance broke up this attack,
during which, one of the Companies suffered very heavily.
By a quick decision made under heavy nre Lieutenant-
Colonel Spragge was able to manoeuvre the remainder of
his force and successfully carry out his new plan. Through-
out the first day's fighting and in this subsequent action
Lieutenant-Colonel Spragge displayed marked courage,
coolness and determination, and by his leadership ensured
the successful carrying out of the tasks given to his Bat-

talion. His actions throughout were an example to all
ranks."

The citation covering the D.S.O. awarded to Wing
Commander Dal Russel ('26-'34) D.F.C. & bar, reads as
follows: "In recent intensive air operations the squadrons
under the command of Wing Commander Russel have com-
pleted a large number of sorties. Within a period of three
days a very large number of transport vehicles were at-
tacked, of which 127 were set on fire and a bigger number
damaged. In addition four hostile aircraft were destroyed
and seventeen tanks and nineteen other armoured vehicles
were damaged. By his masterly leadership, sound judge-
ment and fine fighting qualities Wing Commander Russel
played a good part in the success achieved. His example
inspired all".

while serving with his regiment in an attack which proved
to be quite an expensive one. He had bullet wounds in his
upper right arm and one nicked the calf of his leg, so he
was flown back to hospital in England. He writes his family
that he is just leaving hospital for a convalescent home

The Headmaster has received letters from more than
fifty Old Boys overseas, thanking the School for their kind-
ness in sending them cartons of cigarettes. Somewhat to
our surprise we have discovered that six or eight of the
Old Boys do not smoke, but they found the cigarettes very
useful as gifts or as means of acquiring other articles. We
feel it was exceedingly good of the Old Boys to take the
time in their busy and hazardous lives to write such let-
ters.

Prayer in Use in +he Chapel for Old Boys
on Active Service
O Almighty God, who art wiser than the
children of men and overrulest all things to their
good, hold, we beseech Thee, in Thy keeping all
who have gone forth to battle for our cause,
especially those from this School: watch over
those that are missing: comfort and protect those
in the hands of the enemy. Be with them in the
hour of danger, strengthen them in the hour of
weakness, sustain and comfort them in the hour
of sickness or of death. Grant that they may be
true to their calling and true always to Thee,
and make both them and its to be strong to do our
duty in Thy service, through Jesus Christ our
Lord.

EDITORIALS
Do we learn to work at school? Surely this vital
question has disturbed the minds, at one time or other, of
most of the boys at T.C.S. If this were the ideal place
to work, such a doubt would never arise in anyone's
mind. But the very fact that it often does, proves that
this is not always the case. The subject then resolves it-
self into a discussion as to whether it is more difficult to
study in a boarding school such as our own, or in the high
school of a town or city.
Let us first decide on the academic purpose of a
school. Should we simply memorize a string of facts,
which may or may not be coherent, or ought we to learn
how to concentrate and to study? Certainly the latter
2 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
course is the wiser and more intelligent one, since the
actual facts we learn at school are usually of little value
in our professional lives. It is the knowledge of how to
study that enables us to absorb the necessary information
that is brought to our attention in university and in later
life. And yet how many of us actually realize that this
is the fundamental objective of all schools?
There is at T.C.S. no one all-embracing system of
studying upon which to base our comparisons, for there
are various arrangements under which a boy may be work-
ing. He may, for example, either work in a supervised
study or in his own room; he may have only a very few
"spares" as compared with a larger number available to
older boys; he may find he has little spare time while
others, not so athletically inclined, may have considerably
more time. All these different circumstances must enter
into our discussion in order to make it at all comprehensive.
Proceeding to actual comparisons, let us deal first
with the problem of spare time as it exists in high schools
and here at T.C.S. Even the most casual glance convinces
us that the presence of motion picture theatres, bowling
aDeys and other similar distractions are a very disturbing
influence on most students. In the country, however, we
are certainly well protected from these diversions of the
city. But wait! Are there not a number of distractions
at "School in the form of ever-present games and "bull
sessions"? These hindrances to additional study are, we
must agree, for the most part due to the large numbers
of boys living in such close quarters, as it is always pos-
sible to find someone to do something with. Admittedly
playing games is more healthy than spending the afternoon
in the movies, yet boys may, if they are not careful, lay too
much emphasis on sport rather than on their studies. We
are fortunate that this danger is recognized and that
encouragement is continually given us to work by those
charged with our guidance. High school boys are not
menaced by this particular pitfall to such an extent, since
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3
it requires considerable effort on the part of any person
to reassemble a group of boys after they have returned
home in the evening. Once out of school, high school
students are at liberty to do as they please, without the
necessary supervision of masters to direct and aid them
in their studies.
There is no doubt that supervised study, if properly
controlled, is one method of being certain that boys do
their work, although the large number of students gather-
ed together in one room, some of whom have no desire to
work, may make it difficult for a few of the boys concern-
ed to concentrate fully. A different situation exists with
those who, either due to their age, seniority, or academic
standing, are permitted to study in their rooms imder a
minimum of supervision. This system is a very wise one
since, if boys learn to organize and train themselves to
work, they are actually preparing themselves for imiver-
sity and the future. If more of us realized this fact, we
could certainly benefit from it. For, although some readily
adapt themselves to this situation, others do not. And it
is these others, who, not working themselves, selfishly
disturb those who are, and all suffer.
The same problem exists in high schools, with two
exceptions. First, if a boy does not v/ant to work in the
house, he cannot disturb his friends and he alone suffers.
And second, unless parents are very strict and supervise
their children's work carefully, (which does not seem to
be the usual practice) , many boys will find the temptations
of doing something other than the work on hand too dif-
ficult to resist, and nothing will be accomplished. Of these
two, the disadvantages of the second seem to far outweigh
the advantages of the first, for although the high school
may be suited to the occasional untempted and studious in-
dividual, in general boys will do more work under the
supervision of the masters in a boarding school.
We might now consider that the foregoing leads us
to a reasonably general, but sketchy conclusion regarding
4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
the comparative merits of studying at home or in school.
One or two observations remain to be brought out. In our
conclusion we remarked that the untempted but studious
individual may find the quiet of the home more to his
liking. A similar student in a boarding school, however,
would have the advantage of masters on hand, eager to
help, and readily accessible references. In fact, the pre-
sence of masters is an advantage to all students for they
are trained to teach boys how to organize themselves and
their stufiies and to aid them in preparing for the future.
As a result of all this discussion, there is but one con-
clusion that we can safely arrive at. It is that any boy
who makes an honest and sincere attempt to improve him-
self can learn how to study in either type of institution
with almost equal facility, although individuals may be
suited either to one or the other due to particular condi-
tions and preferences peculiar to each person. In other
words, it depends upon the boy and his determination to
work, rather than upon the surroundings he may happen
to work in.
— P.C.D.
"There is no end to education . . . We might as well
try to get in our 'teens the minimum of righteousness that
will admit us to heaven and consider that we are then
'finished' with religion. Education is initiation, not appren-
ticeship. It has nothing to do with trade, business or liveli-
hood; it has no connection with rate of wages or increase
of pay. Its scale is not the material scale of the market.
Education is a preparation for life, not merely for a liveli-
hood, for living not for a living. Its aim is to make men
and women, not 'hands'."

The Heart of Christianitj-
Extracts from the last broadcast talk given by the late
William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury.
(From the Canadian Churchiaaji)
There is only one person among the multitudes of
men and women of this and all past ages whose birthday
is celebrated by some people at least in every nation on
earth; that person is Jesus Christ, whom most of those
who keep His birthday call "Our Lord."
We dare not claim without more ado that we are fight-
ing in the cause of Christ, for we do not know that our
discipleship is so complete that we can use victory in His
service. But we can and we must affirm that we are
fighting against His enemies. The thing we are fighting is
a revival in a peculiarly hideous and most mighty form
of the thing He came to supersede. Mankind needs a
Leader to guide it through the tangle of life; mankind
needs a Saviour to deliver it from the evils of life. Where
are we to find our Leader and Saviour? Germany, with
the exception of its better and wiser folk, believed that
Hitler could lead and deliver first Germany and then man-
kind. To us this seems so ridiculous that many cannot
take it seriously; they see that there is a tyranny to be
destroyed, but they cannot see that there is an idolatry to
be torn out of men's minds; and it is vital that we all
should see this.
It is not a new thing, this idolatry; it is very old.
We are all determined to overthrow Hitler's tyranny;
that can be done by force of arms, and we mean to do it.
Beyond that is the greater need, to root out from men's
minds the Nazi idolatry, and that cannot be done by force
of arms. The causes that produce it are in the souls and
circumstances of men. Those causes produced that idola-
try in other ancient empires, and then in that of Rome.
They produced it in modem Gennany. No doubt there
6 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
was a long tradition in German history and much of its
hterature which prepared the way. But that history had
its sympathizers and that literature its admirers in other
countries, including our own. No Christian who under-
stood his own faith could share that sympathy or feel
that admiration; but they were there. And the causes
will all be at work again when the war is over.
It is not enough to destroy the tyranny of darkness;
we must become carriers of that light which is ready to
guide our feet into the way of peace.
We must not be content to throw back the aggression
of darkness; we must so fully enrol ourselves as soldiers
of the light that through us its empire may spread over
the world and darkness may not again prevail against it.
Our enlistment in that service must be for life; there is
no demobilization ; but the service is freedom because it is
the fulfilment of our true bemg, and our Leader is the
Love that came down at Christmas, the Love that is the
Light of the World.
So we come to the heart of the Christian message
and the well-spring of Christian hope; as St. John puts it:
"Herein is love, not that we loved God but that He loved
us." If the Gospel merely set before us the life of Christ
as the perfection of human living, and then told us to live
like that, it would be our despair. You might just as well
present me with a copy of "Hamlet" or "King Lear" and
tell me to sit down and write plays like that. Shakespeare
could do it; I can't; that is the difference between him and
me. So. too, with that life of perfect love, it is only a
human life. Christ could live like that; I can't; that is
the difference between Him and me. But the GJospel is
not first a call to live by love with an example of how to
do it. It is first and foremost the proclamation that God
Himself so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten
Son — One in whom we see the character of the divine
Father reproduced, so that He could say, "He that hath
seen Me hath seen the Father."
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 7
So Christianity is not first and foremost concerned
with what men should be and do; it is first and foremost
a proclamation of what God is and has done. That is
why its message is a well-spring of hope; for it tells of the
coming into the v/orld of a new power. If my trust is
not in what I can do, but in what He has done and still
can do, then I have hope.
From this follows the nature of a Christian's disci-
pline. Of course, he must watch his special bad tendencies,
and see that they do not lead him into bad conduct. Any
one can do that; and every one ought to do it, Christians
with the rest. But that is not yet the beginning of a
distinctively Christian life. For strength to live that life
the Christian has the resolute determination to begin
every day in the company of Christ and so far as may be
live in that company, by remembrance of Him and by
prayer to Him.
The Christian hopes to improve, and to become the
means of making the world a better place, by putting him-
self under the play of the influence of Christ, of the pure
and holy love of God displayed in Christ, and let Christ
by His Spirit do the rest.

IN MEMORIAM
(From His Grace, the Primate's Christmas letter)
"We know that where there is courage and sacrifice
there is also the pledge of a better day and a fuller life.
What courage and sacrifice have been shown through the
days of 1944, and through all the years of the war! If
those who have made the supreme sacrifice could speak I
think they would say something like this:
"Ye that have faith to look with fearless eyes
Beyond the anguish of a world at strife,
And know that out of death and night shall rise
The dawn of ampler life;
Rejoice, whatever anguish rend the heart.
That God has given you the priceless dower
To live in these great times and have your part
In Freedom's crowning hour,
That ye may tell your sons who see the light
High in the heavens — their heritage to take —
'I saw the powers of darkness take their flight:
I saw the morning break'."
— (Found on the body of an Australian soldier).
F. G. McLaren
Major, 48th. Highlanders
Fred McLaren entered the Junior School in 1928 and
spent nine years with us. leaving in June, 1937. He work-
ed his way steadily up the School, won third team colours
in football and cricket and was a member of the second
gym. eight. In his final year, Fred passed his Honour
Matriculation in good standing in the Sixth Form, and in
recognition of his position in the School he was appointed
a Prefect in the summer term. Fred, or "Sheckle" as he
was popularly known, was always a happy and reliable
boy, and made a host of friends while here.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 9
At R.M.C. Fred was a Quartermaster Sergeant and
then interrupted his course in 1939 to go overseas with the
48th. Highlanders. In 1940 he went to France. Later, en
route to Sicily, he lost his kit for the second time when his
ship, which carried ammunition, was torpedoed and blew
up. In September, 1943, Fred commanded Headquarters
Company in the 48th., and was wounded in Italy. Last
December, a shell burst near him, badly injuring his leg
and he died on December 5.
There was never any fanfare or self-seeking about
Fred. His life was an outstanding example of steady per-
severance and constant good humour. He has given his
best — the greatest satisfaction he would have asked for.
Three sisters have been serving overseas, one of whom
died on active service a few months ago. Fred was married
in England in 1942 and leaves a year old son. We send
our deep sympathy to his widow, to his parents, Lieut.-Col.
and Mrs. George H. McLaren, Todmorden, Ontario, and to
his sisters.
T. ROY JONES
The sudden death of Mr. Thomas Roy Jones on Satur-
day, January 6, means the loss to the School of a great
friend.
Mr. Jones was elected to the Governing Body in April,
1941, and always mamtained the keenest interest in our
activities. At School matches. Chapel services, Inspection
and Speech Days, and at countless other times, he was
present with Mrs. Jones, talking to the boys, following
every detail of the occasion and taking part in proceedings
with obvious pleasure. He attended meetings of the Govern-
ing Body regularly and served on the Scholarship Com-
mittee. We shall miss him, not only as a friend, but also
as a generous donor of his time.
Mr. Jones was a son of Charles S. Jones of St. Mary's,
Ontario, and a grandson of the Hon. William McDougall.
10 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Entering the Bank of Nova Scotia at an early age, he had
a long and successful banking career, serving in Regina,
Calgary, Gait, Ottawa and Toronto before his retirement.
A veteran of the first Great War, he went overseas as
a lieutenant with the 4th. Mounted Rifles, later serving in
France with the Royal Canadian Artillery. He was re-
turned to Canada as artillery instructor in 1917, and went
overseas again the next year in command of a regiment.
He retired at the end of the war with the rank of major.
His eldest son, Lieutenant Archie Jones ('35-'41),
R.C.N.V.R., is at sea, and a daughter, Gwynneth, is a Lieu-
tenant (N/S) in the R.C.A.M.C. Owen Jones ('39-'44) and
another daughter, Jessie Anne, are at home.
The School extends its deepest sympathy to Mrs. Jones
and her family.

CHAPELIMNOTES
Visit of Bishop Broughall
On Sunday, November 26, the Rt. Rev. L. W. B.
Broughall ('88-'94), Lord Bishop of Niagara, preached at
Evensong taking his text from the twenty-first chapter of
the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel: "I will overturn, over-
turn, overturn".
He explained that man was continually in search of
new principles, but that these had never lasted more than
a few years. This is best illustrated by the fact that eight
hundred treaties of peace were signed between the years
498 B.C. and 1860 A.D. Since the very finest of our human
leaders have been proved inadequate, the preacher suggest-
ed that we should turn to Jesus Christ for leadership and
crown Him with a new heart and purpose.
Advent Sunday
On Advent Sunday, December 1, the Chaplain chose
his text from the Epistle of the day: "He that loveth an-
other hath fulfilled the Law". He pointed out that the
basis of the Law is to love, or care for, one another, and
that it was the love that Jesus had for everyone and His
charm of manner that impressed His disciples most. This,
he emphasized, was even more remarkable when we re-
member that the other holy men and prophets had taken
pride in their ruggedness and crudity. But in spite of His
12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
charm, flattery and dissimulation were strangers to Jesus.
The Chaplain went on to say that this graciousness
might have been easy had Christ led an inactive life, but
though He was dogged by suspicion and hatred until His
final act of love on the Cross. He was still able to say
"Father, forgive them".
In closing he stressed that we have Advent to pray
that the love of God may enter into us and give us some
of that rich charity for all men that Christ so markedly
displayed.
Christmas Carols
On Sunday, December 10, the Chaplain preached on
the origin of Christmas carols, a fitting subject for the
second Sunday in Advent. He took his text from the
149th and 150th Psalms, remarking that praises had been
sung to God from time immemorial and that since the
early years of Christianity, carols had been sung to honour
the divinity of our Lord.
He told us how some of the festivities and carols of
Christmas had been taken from old heathen feasts, and
how cynics sometimes maintain that Christmas is but an
heathen feast which has been Christianized. In defence,
he pointed out that, since it has been Christianized, it has
taken on a new meaning.
THE CAROL SERVICE
Again this year the Carol service was an outstanding
success and fortunately there was no repetition of last
year's organ trouble. The solo parts of the Monarch and
the Page in "Good King Wenceslas" were sung by Hope
and Nigel Thompson. The solos in "Masters in this
Hall", which we had not heard for two years, were taken
by Huycke i and David Ketchum. The two highlights of the
service were "The Glory of the Lord" and the "Hallelujah
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 13
Chorus", from Handel's Messiah, both of which were ex-
cellently rendered by the Choir.
The order of the service was as follows: —
Processional Hymn — "Adeste Fideles".
Chorale— * 'Break Forth O Beauteous Heavenly Light"—
Bach.
1st Reading— M. E. Wright.
Choir — "Joseph and the Angel".
2nd Reading— G. R. Campbell.
Hymn No. 738— "Unto Us a Boy Is Bom".
3rd Reading — D. S. Hare.
Choir — "Good King Wenceslas",
4th Reading— G. P. H. Vernon.
Choir — "Carol of the Ox and the Ass".
Hymn No. 733— "Once in Royal David's City".
Choir — " 'Twas in the Moon of Winter Time".
5th Reading — E. J. M. Huycke.
Choir — "Away in a Manger".
6th Reading — A. C. Morris, Esq.
Choir— "When the Sun Had Sunk to Rest".
Hymn 780— "The First Nowell".
7th Reading — C. J. Tottenham, Esq.
Choir — "Love Came Down at Christmas."
Chapel Donations
In order to insure a stable donation, the School has
once again adopted the envelope method of Chapel collec-
tion. Introduced three years ago, this system was discon-
tinued for a year and now reappears in its present form.
At the beginning of the term each boy in the Senior School
was asked to pledge a certain percentage of his allowance
each week. Consequently, at Evensong service on Sunday,
he puts in the collection plate a numbered envelope con-
taining his contribution.

Christmas Cheer
In accordance with custom, the offertory at the Carol
Service was devoted to assisting needy families. Cheques
for $15.00 were sent to friends in Ottawa, Kingston, Mon-
treal. Toronto and Port Hope, so that one more family in
those places might enjoy a happy Christmas. It is our
privilege and pleasure to be able to do this small service
for the cities and towns in which so many of us live. Our
thanks are due to the friends who were kind enough to
carry out this service for us. They are Miss Wilhelmina
Wright, the Very Rev. K. C. Evans, the Very Rev. R. S. K.
Seeley. the Rev. C. J. Frank, and the Rev. T. H. Crosthwait.
A Chaplain's Life in the R.C.A.F.
In a very interesting and informative sermon on Sun-
day, January 14. Wing Commander the Rev. Bruce Jenn-
ings, former rector of St. Mark's Church, Port Hope, gave
an account of the life he had led as a chaplain attached
to an R.C.A.F. bomber squadron overseas.
Wing Commander Jennings has just returned from
England and is now Deputy Director of Chaplain Services
for the R.C.A.F. In his sermon he described the anxious
hours before a raid, the briefing and the weather reports,
and went on to tell of his own feelings as the bombers
left and returned. He concluded with an appeal that we,
as Canadians, should pray for these bomber crews, and if
we have friends or relatives among them, most certainly
write as there is nothing the boys so much appreciate as
a letter from home.
Missions
On Sunday, January 21, the Chaplain spoke on "mis-
sions". He made it clear that we are faced to-day with a pre-
dominantly pagan world. The progress of science and ma-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 15
terialistic thinking has outstripped our moral standards,
and consequently God has been largely forgotten even in
Christian communities. Man, in his individualism, has be-
come his own god, the Chaplain continued, and because
man is rooted in God, he destroys himself when he de-
stroys God. In some parts of the world faith in our Lord
is being superseded by faith in political creeds.
The Chaplain concluded by emphasizing the part that
the Church can play and is playing in this new crisis. She
has shown her realization of it by the extent and scope of
her missionary activities. These activities should be sup-
ported by each and every individual, for by doing so he will
be preserving not only the Church, but the very world he
lives in.
In Quest of Life
On Sunday, January 28, the Rev. Dr. Harding Priest
spoke in Chapel. Dr. Priest is the former Western Field
Secretary of the Missionary Society of the Church of Eng-
land in Canada, and is now attached to the Toronto branch
of that organization.
Using Alexander Mackenzie as an example, the
preacher pointed out that we should each have a quest in
life and adhere to that quest throughout all our difficulties.
He then mentioned a few of the quests before us, and
stressed friendship, faith and fair play as three char-
acteristics that must accompany us on our particular path
through life if this path is to lead to a successful con-
clusion.
Address by the Headmaster
On February 11, Quinquagesima, the Headmaster
spoke in Chapel as follows:
The late Archbishop of Canterbury said:
"We are fighting against the enemies of Christ but we
16 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
dare not claim we are lighting in the cause of Christ until
we have put our own house in order and we are certain
that victory will be used in His service."
To-day I propose to look at some of the ills which are
seriously weakening the civilian life of this country, and
especially the lives of the boys and girls in our towns and
cities, the young people on whom the future depends.
It is not difficult for us to realize the terrible destruc-
tion of this war, the frightful cost in human lives, in
broken families, the enormous areas laid waste, productive
lands and cities now broken and barren — all this we have
read of and seen in pictures for just five and a half years,
and we know now that this world has never before wit-
nessed a struggle so deadly, so annihilating, so overwhelm-
ing in its magnitude and destructive power.
But too often we do not realize the ravages which war
has made at home, in our own countries, still far removed
from the dreadful material destruction experienced in other
lands.
War first fires a resolve to face the foe and win
through; it unites a people in a willing, disciplined, brave
effort, and every sacrifice is accepted stoically. Then, as
the years wear on and the man behind the lines has ex-
perienced every kind of emotion engendered by war, his
fine qualities become hardened, his sympathies are directed
toward himself instead of toward others far worse off, he
adopts a fatalistic attitude; the future is unknown, uncer-
tain, life is short, man has to look after himself, so why
not have all the fun he can. enjoy himself while he is able,
he is only young once, why worry about self-control, self-
discipline, even self-direction, they are old-fashioned re-
straints, he will taste all that is offered, poisoned or not,
he'll live to the full while he can, he will spend all, money,
strength, talents, character, he will spend his future on the
entertainment of the moment.
Always the last years of war produce such a reckless
attitude to life and often it is even more noticeable in the
TPUNITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 17
first years of peace. War weariness is at the bottom of
it but there are other causes.
Oh yes, we reahze that there will be many problems
facing us after the war, but what can we do about it. the
future will have to take care of itself, someone else will
settle those difficulties; let us live and play for to-morrow
may never come. Eat, drink and be merry, anything for
a laugh — it is not exaggeration to say that is the watch-
word, the uppermost thought in the minds of an alarm-
ingly large and ever growing number of men and women.
By the accounts of intelligent observers, this evil is
permeating life to-day in every country. We've had enough
of controls, let us be free, and do as we wish.
Such an attitude to life can undoubtedly be more
disastrous to the future than the appalling physical de-
struction of war. Why? Simply because it will destroy
future generations of our best people; like a creeping
paralysis it can kill the cohesion of our families and com-
munities, it will smother the light of learning and throttle
all ennobling influences.
What is the plain fact of the civilian life of so many
of our people to-day?
The child is born with possibilities of development
unbounded, in a land of unrivalled opportunities; he is a
child of God, an inheritor of the Kingdom of heaven; there
are no limits to the achievements of which he may be
capable.
The normal parents nourish his first years with un-
selfish sacrificial care.
But in this commercial age, this age of no restraints
and few standards, this youngster suddenly finds himself
exposed to a veritable army of insidious influences, each
one appealing to his weaker self, each one beckoning with
the finger of indulgence — come and enjoy yourself. As
soon as he is able to understand his language they attack
him from all sides. And how few can resist. There has
never been anything like it in any former age because
18 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
there was never such an all-pervading means of communi-
cation — the printing press, the moving pictures, the radio,
keep pounding at him hour after hour, day after day until
they have him in their grip. He wanders in a maze of
what is partly good and in large part bad, with woefully
few strong arms to put him on the highroad. He is con-
stantly assailed by an array of trash, appealing to the im-
mature eye and all the lower emotions, requiring nothing
but an animal response — all because someone wants to
make money at the expense of our manhood.
So terribly much of the ordinary young person's crowd-
ed environment is to-day a world of ugliness, of debased
language, of falsehood, of trickery masquerading as clever-
ness, of greed and selfishness held up as smartness and
stepping-stones to success, of sex, of crime.
We pride ourselves on being broad-minded, and there-
fore we hesitate to condemn any of these influences, calmlj'
allowing them to infect the finely sensitive and immature
minds of thousands of our youth, the boys and girls who
will be in charge of the country in a few years. These
youngsters are cleverly enticed to waste many of their
most precious talents and a large part of their most im-
pressionable years through such influences, and they can
never regain those years or the first fine rapture of those
talents. The finish has become soiled, just as if we used
a Rolls Royce limousine to collect garbage.
And there are worse results: Some of these infections
will leave scars for life, some will weaken, some will
paralyse, some will clearly shorten life.
It is true that there are better influences at work but
for the general run of young people they do not have the
exciting appeal, the commercial backing, the mass popu-
larity enjoyed by the emotional slush and trash which cor-
rodes even as it glitters.
Reports from all quarters lead one to believe that a
large proportion of our young people are growing up
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 19
without ideals, with few standards, with no inspiration
except self -amusement.
How have we allowed such a condition to become so
deep-rooted? It had its beginning at the end of the last
war; it flourished in the days of unemployment when the
family without any means of subsistence felt they were not
wanted and lost faith in the future. War has accelerated
the condition for opposite reasons. Parents are too busy,
too tired, to give their youngsters proper supervision, the
father has been overseas for years, homes are broken up,
high wages are spent on amusement; youngsters of twelve
years and up work part time and have money to spend
as they wish; there is a general slackening of principles
and control in the homes; young people have grown up in
an atmosphere of killing and destruction; schools are over-
crowded and understaffed, often with substitute teachers;
there is no settled, ordered life, little security which youth
craves. There is, finally, not nearly sufficient serious, sus-
tained emphasis on the needs of youth by our leaders.
Surely we know that what our young people are to-
day our country will be to-morrow. It is, of course, a
disgrace that Canada should permit one third of its youth
to be underdeveloped physically; but that is a matter that
can be corrected fairly simply and it is beginning to re-
ceive attention.
What is much more serious and more difficult to cor-
rect is the prevalence of the dead-end type of mind, the
devil-may-care spirit, the get-away-with-it-if-you-can atti-
tude.
What can we do about it? The first step is to set our
own house in order, recapture those strong principles of
conduct, those ideals of life as a motivating force — onward
and upward day by day — the religious basis of our life.
All you boys in this chapel have been specially privileged
in your upbringing so far, but have you taken full ad-
vantage of your opportunities to cultivate strong minds,
strong bodies, strong principles? There is a school routine
20 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
for you to follow, a curriculum to study, but that is the
bare minimum required by an educational system which is
largely inadequate to the needs of youth. The most im-
portant elements of your school experience can, I believe,
be summed up under these headings:
1. The knowledge of personality and character you
will obtain by the meeting of many different types of peo-
ple, both those in real life and those in books, and the
knowledge of yourself which will thus be revealed.
2. The gradual acquisition of a philosophy of life
which involves an answer to the question "What is the
Good Life?" This requires thought and reading about
religion, about God, about the great leaders of all times,
and it should result, especially in a community like this,
in the growth of a self-forgetful sense of corporate re-
sponsibility — your duty to your neighbour, friendliness.
3. The gradual discovery of delight and facility in
certain mental occupations, in reading the best writings of
all ages, in cultural pursuits — literature, art, architecture,
sculpture, music, speaking, acting, debating, handicrafts —
in languages, in numbers, in science, in the story of man.
A really deep interest in any of these pursuits will make
you a stronger man in every way, will give you a lasting
pleasure, will provide a sheet anchor in times of stress,
and will reveal talents in yourself which you never suspect-
ed.
4. The development of a sound and strong body
through leading a regular, controlled life, balancing work
with leisure, physical exercise with mental exercise and
both with relaxation, learning always to be master of
yourself, steering clear of self-indulgence and dissipation
in any of their forms. "I am the master of my fate, I am
the captain of my soul."
You know well the truth of the old saying — thoughts
give birth to acts, acts give birth to habits, and habits de-
velop character.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 21
If character, your very self, stems from thoughts,
then thoughts are extremely important things. The every
day mental world, as I have tried to show you, is full of
infection. Yet how often we open wide the doorways of
our eyes and ears and allow all manner of infection to
enter.
If we knew such mental food were poisoned, perhaps
we should hesitate to let it in, but it is well disguised and
offered to us in quantities before we have learnt to judge,
to discriminate.
The only safe rule to follow is to seek out the best all
through our younger years until by our own efforts and
the help of trusted leaders we have set up for ourselves
a sense of values, a set of principles and standards which
will enable us to detect the cheap, the tawdry, the ugly,
the merely sensuous appeal and shut out such debasing
influence by the sheer weight and fineness of the best.
That is the great purpose of our younger years — to
build up sure foundations of wisdom, of J earning and
knowledge, the heritage of the ages, on which we can
safely fashion a distinctive superstructure in after years.
It is of vital importance, then, that we learn to dis-
criminate, to distinguish between good and evil, and that
we cleave to the good and abhor that which is evil.
Behind this whole conception there must be an in-
spiration, a motivating force. And surely it is the knowl-
edge that one man can move mountains, that history is
full of such momentous deeds when whole nations and
groups of nations have been led by the ideas and ideals
and vivid appeal of men who were inspired by great
thoughts.
God made man in his own likeness, but how often man
has debased himself. The Spirit of man is the Candle of
the Lord, but how often the light barely flickers or is
snuffed out by man himself.
Some seed fell by the wayside, some fell on the rock,
some fell among thorns and the thorns sprang up with it
22
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
and choked it — the world is full of weeds. But some fell
on good soil and sprang up and bore fruit an hundredfold.
In this coming season of Lent let us examine our-
selves and the world we live in, face our shortcomings,
realize our temptations, and resolve to strengthen our-
selves now for the coming battle of life.
Sink your roots deep in the soO of all good learning
now, while you have time, and so store up nourishment
and character that you may withstand every onslaught
and bear much fruit in due season.

NOTES
The Provost
Many present and former members of T.C.S. will have
learned with regret that the Reverend F. H. Cosgrave, Pro-
vost of Trinity College and member of the Board of Gover-
nors of Trinity College School, has announced his impend-
ing retirement.
During the eighteen years of his provostship the Col-
lege has made strong and steady growth in its scholarship,
in its academic equipment of men and material, in the
beauty and utility of its buildings, in its contribution to the
intellectual, social, and athletic life of the University.
Strachan Hall, the new St. Hilda's, the new East Wing.
will stand as memorials, not only to the founding fathers
and benefactors whose names are inscribed upon their tab-
lets, but equally to the faith and high courage of the man
who caused them to be erected in troubled and precarious
days. Provost Cosgrave will go down to history as the
building Provost.
Not only that. With his retirement the College and
the University will lose a man of wise counsel, both pri-
vate and public, a man of few words, but weighty and well-
timed, a man of sympathy and understanding, a humourist
and hater of cant and sham, a man of resolution and
authority, of whom it may well be quoted: "A great man
who neither sought nor shunned greatness; who found
glory only because glory lay in the plain path of duty."
We are glad to know that the Provost expects to stay
in Toronto and we look forward to seeing him often in
Port Hope.

Admiral Nelles
Percy W. Nelles ('07-'08), a Governor of the School,
retired from the Royal Canadian Navy on January 10 with
the rank of admiral, completing thirty-six years in the
service; he is fifty-three years of age.
Joining the Royal Canadian Navy in 1908 at the age
of sixteen, he was the second of the first seven Canadian
naval cadets to enrol. He served as lieutenant with the
Royal Navy from 1914 to 1917 in various ships and in 1917
came to Ottawa as flag lieutenant to Admiral Kingsmill.
later returning to England to take a staff course.
Admiral Nelles has held the appointments of senior
naval officer at Halifax and at Esquimalt and was the first
Canadian trained officer to command a cruiser in the Royal
Navy. He was appointed chief of naval staff at Ottawa in
1934. Promotion to the rank of rear-admiral came on
August 4, 1938, and to vice-admiral in November, 1941. In
January, 1944, he was appointed to go to London from
where he directed Canadian naval operations.
In January, 1943, he was created a Companion of The
Most Honourable Order of the Bath by His Majesty the
King, for the distinguished service he has given to his
Country and Commonwealth.
The following editorial appeared in the Montreal Star
entitled "The Man Who Built the Navy" ....
"On the day that war v/as declared, the British Ad-
miralty signalled the Canadian Chief of Naval Staff: 'How
soon can you begin convoy operations.' The answer came
back: 'Immediately'. And six days later the tiny Cana-
dian Navy escorted eighteen merchantmen into the open
Atlantic, delivering them safely to their destination.
"In those days the Navy had little to work with. It
had been that way for years. But it worked well with
what it had. How well its planning was done through the
lean years has since been fully demonstrated by the
amazing programme of expansion carried out. From six-
teen ships and less than two thousand men, the Navy has
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 25
grown to more than seven hundred ships and eighty thou-
sand men.
"Today the man who was behind all this planning, the
man who stuck to his desk in those years when no one was
much interested in paying taxes for ships or sailors, has
retired to private life after thirty-six years in Canada's
naval uniform. He is Percy Walker Nelles, who started
as a middy and yesterday became the Dominion's first full
Admiral. His contribution to the nation has been immense,
perhaps far greater than other than still secret war re-
cords can show. To him the thanks of Canada are due,
and his new rank is the country's expression of its grati-
tude."
Miss Smith
It was a deep sorrow to her many friends to learn that
Miss E. M. Smith had decided to retire at the end of Mic-
haelmas Term. Miss Smith well deserves a rest after
nearly twenty-one years of faithful service, but she had
seemed such a permanent part of T.C.S. that it is going
to be extremely difficult to become used to life without her.
She promises to visit us in the spring on her return from
Florida, and we shall look forward to seeing her then, be-
fore she leaves for England.
Miss Smith originally planned to teach in England,
where she was born, but circumstances made it impossible
and she took a post at Shrewsbury as Matron; she re-
mained there for ten years. In 1921 she went to St.
Alban's School, Brockville, as Matron and in September,
1924, she accepted the post of Matron at the new T.C.S.
Junior School. She remained in that capacity for ten
years, doing excellent work, and in 1934 she was appointed
Matron in the Senior School.
During her twenty years at the School, Miss Smith
never spared herself and showed a remarkable ability to
take control of any situation and make the best of it. In
26 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
the Junior School she had charge of all the boys' clothing,
a tremendous task in itself, but in addition she acted as
dietitian for several years. In the Senior School she look-
ed after the clothing arrangements for a maximum of
nearly two himdred boys, as well as supervising the clean-
ing of the houses.
In addition to these tasks. Miss Smith gave unsparing-
ly of her time to the Chapel, as President of the Chapel
Guild. She ran a stamp club in the Junior School, and
she was interested in many worthwhile movements in the
town, especially those connected with St. Mark's Church.
At the Christmas Supper on December 19, the Head-
master gave Miss Smith a silver salver, suitably engraved,
as a small token of the gratitude of the School for her
long and unselfish service. Miss Smith made a gracious
little speech in which she spoke of her very pleasant years
at T.C.S.
The School wishes Miss Smith many years of health
and happiness, with time to use her varied talents to the
full.
Letter from General Murison
The Headmaster has received the following letter from
Major General C. A. P. Murison. C.B., C.B.E., M.C.. ('11-
'13), Deputy Quartermaster-General to the Forces, the
War Office. London:
"From time to time I meet Old Boys and it gives one
a pleasant feeling of pride to find so high a proportion
holding positions of leadership, while to you and the School
it must be a constant source of encouragement and grati-
fication.
"Difficult as the past five years have been. I feel that
even more difficult times lie ahead, when so many war-torn
countries will be looking to the English-speaking nations
for sustenance and support and when those who have been
standing up to the stress of war in the field and in the fac-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 27
tories will be anxiously seeking opportunities to take up
the threads which the war has broken. Consequently
opportunities for leadership will be greater than ever in
the days that lie ahead and, in preparing for 'the shape
of things to come', the School will be carrying on into peace
the record of service it has established in war".
Gifts to the School
Mrs. M. K. Dillane, Schomberg, Ontario, was a recent
contributor to the War Memorial Fund for the building of
the new Chapel.
*****
Argue Martin, K.C. ('14-'17), has sent two squash
racquets to the School.
The Silver Medal for English
His Honour, the Lieutenant-Gk)vemor of Ontario, has
kmdly sent another Silver Medal for Christopher Bovey
('41-'44) who was judged to be equal to Millward for his
proficiency in the English language and Literature last
year.
Staff Changes
Mr. Meyer left us at Christmas and we wish him good
luck in his future work. He is hoping to be able to take
up his Fellowship at Harvard University.
Mr. A. E. White has joined the staff and we extend a
hearty welcome to him. Gaining his M.A. at McMaster
University, Mr. White taught French for twenty-three
years at Westmount High School, Montreal.
We also welcome, for the second time, Mr. J. W. Kerr
('33-'37) who has been with us off and on since last Sep-
tember. Last term he assisted in the coaching of football ;
28 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
this term he is coaching basketball with Mr. Hodgetts and
giving invaluable assistance in the Old Boys' office.
The Conservatory Junior Trio
On the evening of Wednesday, November 29, the
School had the privilege of hearing a concert in Hall pre-
sented by the Conservatory Junior Trio. The artists, Mary
Ann Paul, Dorothy Applebaum and Carl Kaye, played
throughout the performance with amazing accuracy, skill
and precision. The selections, made up of trios and solos
for violin, 'cello and piano, were both varied and interesting.
The programme was as follows: — Allegro from Trio
in B flat . , . Schubert; Marchen . . . Komzak; Claire de
Lune (piano) . . . Debussy; Rondo alia Turca . . . Mozart;
Medley . . . Victor Herbert; Ave Maria . . . Schubert; Tam-
bourin . . . Gossec; Andante . . . Beethoven; Marche Vien-
noise . . . Kreisler; Romance ('cello) . . . Rubinstein; Still
as Night . . . Boehm; Medley of waltzes . . . Chopin; Fan-
tasy . . . Strauss; God Save the King.
The Football Dinner
On Friday, December 8, the annual Football Dinner
was held in Hall. The members of Bigside Football, Big-
side Soccer, the Captains and Vice-Captains of the various
teams, the Coaches, the Headmaster, and a number of
guests were present.
After a very sumptuous dinner consisting in part of
fried chicken and ice cream with chocolate sauce, the Head-
master reviewed briefly the highlights of the season, em-
phasizing particularly the wonderful fighting spirit which
pervaded the team at all times. Mr. Hodgetts told the ex-
tremely interesting history of football from its first appear-
ance to the present day and concluded with a few remarks
concerning this year's first team. The Coach was followed
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 29
by Huycke i, who extended his thanks to the members of
the squad individually and especially to Mr. Hodgetts for-
his untiring efforts throughout the season. Sinclair men-
tioned the substitutes and the teams of Middleside and
Littleside. Concluding speeches were made by Mr. Thomp-
and Cox i, the Coach and Captain of Soccer respectively.
Jim Kerr then showed the moving pictures he had
taken of the Little Big Four games. These were very
much appreciated, for at hand were lasting glimpses of
some of the team's most exciting games.
The final talk of the evening was given by Mr. Syd.
Saunders ('16-'20), Vice-President of the Toronto Branch
of the Old Boys' Association, who endorsed the Head-
master's remarks establishing this year's team as one that
future Old Boys may well look back to with pride.
Sterling silver discs engraved with the School crest
were again presented to all winners of First and Half -First
Team Football Colours by the Old Boys.
Christmas Dinner and Entertainment
Fourteen long weeks had faded into distant memories
as the School sat down to Christmas dinner on December
19. Two hundred pairs of eyes contemplated nineteen
turkeys and other familiar Christmas eatables with relish
and enthusiasm; not so long afterwards, two hundred pairs
of rather more blissful eyes gazed dreamily at nineteen
bony carcasses and two hundred empty plates, as their
owners uttered short and silent but sincere praise to Mrs.
Wilkin and her staff.
Languid eyes focused a little more alertly as the
Headmaster announced after dinner that Distinction Caps
had been awarded to Huycke i and Mclntyre i for their per-
formances during the football season, and to Cox i for his
achievements in soccer. Soon, genuine consternation could
be plainly observed in the eyes of everyone when the Head-
master broke the news of Miss Smith's impending depar-
30 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
ture. The latter, in her capacity as School matron, nad
looked after the clothing of innumerable T.C.S. boys for
twenty years, had darned more socks than people will ever
hazard a guess at, had found the shoes, ties, coats and
shirts of the sloppiest new boy and the grimmest Head
Prefect, and in doing so had ascended to the top of the
bell tower and descended into the depths of the swimming
pool. In short, she had performed heroic service, efficiently
and without fanfare, for twenty years. Miss Smith was
presented with a silver salver which brought tumultuous
applause, a very small token of the School's appreciation.
After certain individuals had been helped out of the
dining hall, and propped on chairs in the gym. from which
they might watch proceedings, the Christmas entertain-
ment got under way, quickly gathering speed. The Choir
lulled everyone into a sense of false security (including Mr.
Scott and Col. Stevenson) while the actors (?) made ready
behind the scenes. Cox and Gibson (to confuse the police
we will dispense with incriminating initials) proceeded to
put on their version of a billiard game. Continuing, the
entertainment took the form of two or three good stunts,
one of which,"The Fatal Bracelet" or "Was She Pushed?",
being written, produced, directed and acted in by Gay
Gordon. This and "Hugo in a Hurry", produced and
directed by Currie, were both really excellent, the first one
in particular being extremely — well, shall we say, humour-
ous?
The hit of the evening, however, was Bigside's musi-
cal. "The Bowery", the story of a hick in New York. Peo-
ple who can't sing always put a musical across better any-
way ! ! In conclusion, it might be well to call to your
attention the name of H. C. Butterfield, interspersed at
regular intervals throughout the programme. Chester is
our intellectual humourist, and after watching his antics
on the stage, we often tolerantly wonder about the thin
line between genius and insanity.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 31
At this point it would be only fair to mention the faith-
ful co-operation of all those who were not conspicuous
during the actual performances. In addition to the re-
sourcefulness of Mr. Maier, without whose aid the evening
would have been impossible, the success of the entertain-
ment was due to the large staff of electricians, stage hands,
directors and property men among whom Mr. Hodgetts,
Mr. Cohu, Mr. Hill. Mr. George Campbell, John Irwin, Pat
Vernon and George Currie stood out for their untiring
labour and interest. Nor should the herculean accomplish-
ments of Mrs. Maier, Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Gwynne-Timothy
remain unmentioned as their make-up productions were
really something to see.

Christmas Greetings
Many Old Boys on active service were kind enough to
send best wishes to the School at Christmas. Their cards
and comments were more appreciated than they can realize,
and all at the School are most grateful for their thought-
ful remembrances.
Inter-House Shooting
The Inter-House Musketry Competition was won again
by Brent House for the year 1944-45. This year's averages
were Brent 19.73, Bethune 19.53, as compared with last
year's 20.29 for Brent and 19.97 for Bethune.

Visit of Mr. Robson
T.C.S. greatly enjoyed the four day visit of Mr. Rob-
son who stayed with us January 21-25, after conducting
several Junior School members up from Mexico. His
sparkling humour did much to enliven meals at the Head
table and his departure has been keenly felt by those boys
who were fortunate enough to sit near him.
The New Chapel
In the centre of this issue we publish the plan of the
present School buildings, together with additions proposed
in the future. Of these additions, it is hoped that the new
Chapel will be commenced very soon after peace is de-
clared.
Several possible locations have been suggested for the
Chapel, amongst which are the following: —
(1) Between the Junior and Senior Schools, as in-
dicated on the plan.
(2) To the West beyond the Memorial Cross, also in-
dicated on the plan.
(3) To the West of Trinity House, in place of the
future West house (see plan).
(4) Directly West and across the road from the
gymnasium.
(5) Directly North and across the road from the
gymnasium.
In order to assist in deciding upon the location of the
Chapel, we ask all Old Boys to indicate their suggestions
on the plan, tearing out the centre insert and mailing it to
the Headmaster.
Thanks
The Record Staff wishes to thank Mr. Key for his
great help in connection with our last issue.

News ill Hall
"Extry, extry"! This was the cry of Mr. "Ross" Cox,
dehvering newspapers in the corridors of T.C.S. At long
last he was on the job! For two weeks no paper had
passed through the portals of the School, and the inmates
were starving for news. So, in the days preceding the
papers, the news of the day was broadcast in the Dining-
hall every Friday and Monday evening at half-past six.
The commentator, Geoffrey ("Mike") Pearson, kept the
School up with the latest news with "flashes" from Europe
and the Far East. We are deeply appreciative of Mr.
Pearson's penetrating summaries, and, now that "Ross" is
back on the job, recall them with the greatest of admira-

Compulsory Militarj^ Training
Debating this year has been started on an interest
basis. All Fifth and Sixth Form boys must, however, be
present at a minimum of three debates and participate in
at least one either by speaking from the floor or by acting
as a main speaker.
The first debate was held on Friday, January 19, in
the Hall. As the motion before the House it was resolved
that a year of compulsory military training should be pro-
vided for all physically fit Canadian males on reaching the
age of eighteen. Upholding the motion were Dobell i,
Paterson i and Pearson i while Cox i, Vernon and Butter-
field i spoke for the negative. Mr. Thompson was in the
Speaker's chair, but the usual judges were dispensed with
as the members of the Debating Committee were taking
part in the discussion.
The leader of the affirmative, Dobell i, spoke of the
benefits which the individual would derive from such a
system of army service. Paterson i then pointed out the
benefit to the country as a whole, and Pearson i concluded
wuth the argument that such a system was essential to the
maintenance of international peace in the post-war era. For
the negative, the speakers limited themselves almost en-
tirely to enlarging upon the probable opposition of the in-
dividual to such a scheme, presenting the disadvantages he
would face through this sudden interruption of his higher
education. They also maintained that the adoption of
peace time military training would further the possibilities
40 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
of revolution in the country. The motion was rejected by
the House by a vote of forty-four to twenty.
Dombiion vs. Provincial Control of Education
On Saturday, January 27, the second debate of the
year took place in the Hall. The motion was: "Resolved
that education, as supervised by the Provincial Govern-
ments, should be transferred to the jurisdiction of the
Dominion Government".
Hallward, speaking first for the affirmative, pointed
out that national as well as provincial unity could be
obtained by such a system as he and his colleagues ad-
vocated. He also declared that it would effect among
Canadian youth a greater realization of the issues at stake.
Lehman, the second speaker upholding the motion,
said that a more equal educational standard could be main-
tained throughout the Dominion because the Federal
Government would be able to finance the scheme. He
asserted that at present there is too much difference be-
tween the educational standards of the provinces.
Main, speaking last for the affirmative, expressed the
opinion that the Dominion Government's jurisdiction of
the educational system would aid in bringing about a
national culture which is now lacking in Canada.
For the negative, White i pointed out the danger that
the political party in power would influence the civil ser-
vice and thus control the education of the Dominion.
Gibson i, the second main speaker to oppose the
motion, proposed that in place of the system advocated a
different one be put into effect whereby the provinces
mi°"ht come to some agreement concerning educational
policy.
Drew, the final speaker for the negative, pointed out
that different types of training were necessary in the
various provinces. He also claimed that under the pro-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 41
posed system a crisis would arise among the teachers be-
cause most of the best ones were at present to be found
in the east.
There were several short speeches from the floor.
Dobell i then spoke for the judges and declared that, close
though the debate had been, it was felt that the affirma-
tive had won by a slight margin. A vote of the House
upheld this decision by a count of 12-11.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The Editor. January 31, 1945.
T.C.S. "Record".
Port Hope, Ont.
Dear Sir:
I am taking the liberty of writing you on behalf of
another group of boys in the School, and I hope you will
receive it in the spirit in which it is intended.
I have attended as many basketball games as possible
since coming to the School, and at every game I have been
impressed by the lack of enthusiasm shown by the mem-
bers of the School, as indicated by the exceedingly small
number of boys who turn out to watch them.
I am prompted to write this letter by the showing
put forth by the School in the game with Cobourg to-day.
Last night there was a hockey game which the School was
expected to win and ninety per cent of the boys attended.
But to-day, Bigside Basketball played a team which was
as strong as themselves, and which might easily have
beaten them, and their School failed to support them. In
fact, in the last half of the game, there were more Cobourg
supporters than School supporters; more Cobourg sup-
porters in our own gym. which is nine miles from Cobourg !
This is a disgrace to the School.
We have a good basketball team this year and thev
42 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
deserve our full support. Let us show a little more School
spirit in the future and give our teams the backing which
they certainly need and rightfully deserve.
Respectfully yours,
A Member of Bigside Hockey.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
BANNISTER, K. H.— "Ken" shivered into T.C.S. in 1941,
with memories of his warm Mexico still lingering in his
' thoughts. Although he soon acclimatized himself, he
never tired of spreading Mexican propaganda during
his four years at the School. In his final year, Ken,
never what is known as a "brain," was a sterling mem-
ber of the Sixth Form, a House Officer, and played on
Middleside soccer. He made a place for himself in the
"smoker", where, it seems, he was a devoted addict of
swing records. He was universally liked and his Mexi-
can broadcasting system was obviously very effective as
he had many of the "smoker" itching to go there. He
was, in his own quiet way, one of the most pleasant
characters in the School. He left us at Christmas to
join the Army; we wish him all the success in the world,
and hope the Army will like this "mad Mexican" as much
as we did.

MUSIC IN NATURE
Have you ever listened to the wind sighing in the firs,
or heard it whistling angrily around a corner? Have you
heard the crash of the surf on a rock bound shore, or the
soft ripple of a wave? Have you noticed the rumble of
distant thunder and the hurried patter of raindrops on a
roof? K you have heard these things, you have heard
the music of nature. Indeed, nature seems a living thing
when we hear these sounds. We can picture a pla>'ful
breeze or a raging tempest. We can personify the wind;
can imagine it as having emotions, changing feelings or
different moods. Little wonder that the early Greeks
worshipped a god of wind and a god of nature. It is the
wind that brings nature's music to our ears. We can stand
on a high hill with a strong, malicious wind whipping
around us and watch the black clouds scud across the sky.
It is as if the scene before us were the setting for a play,
and the things we see, the trees swaying, the clouds and
the waving grass, the actors. These are nature's players
and we can watch this ever changing parade of nature
pass before us. In perfect accompaniment the music of
nature is playing. The wind hissing through the tall grass,
the branches rubbing together, and the rustling of the
leaves all portray nature's mood in sound as the clouds
and the trees act out the drama. And this drama can be
44 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
just as gentle as it can be strong and cruel . . . Picture a
moonlight night; a breeze rippling the water ever so gently
and whispering in the tree tops .... Here again nature's
music corresponds with her mood, gentle and soft.
At night the sounds of nature are multiplied a thou-
sandfold. As Daudet says, "The day is the life of beings,
but the night, it is the life of things." At night the least
sound is magnified and nature's symphony of sound plays
clearly and beautifully. Sometimes we feel that we can
hear something that we can actually only see. The beauty
of the scene fills our hearts with music. Can you imagine
a softer, more delicate sound than snow falling or grass
growing? Sometimes at night when the sounds of the
brooks and the wind singing through the branches of the
trees are clear and distant, and everything else is still, you
feel that you can even hear the grass growing.
Nature is also heard in thousands of little animals: in
the singing birds; the chattering of a squirrel; the crazy
call of a loon; the humming of a myriad of insects on a
still night or the chirrup of a single cricket; the trilling
call of the first robin seeming as though he will burst with
joy. All these are parts of nature's music. Seldom do we
hear discord in her orchestra. The players know their
parts to perfection and can adjust their tones to suit the
mood of their conductor. What can be more fitting than
the swelling trill of the song sparrow on the break of a
summer's mom, or what can suit the whole setting of
nature better than the hoarse call of a crow on a bleak
grey day in November?
Man has captured some of nature's music in his own.
Beethoven, sitting in a dark room lit only by a candle, try-
ing to compose, threw open the shutters and a flood of
moonlight swept into the room. The beauty of it inspired
him. It was nature's music without sound and he was
able to interpret it in his lovely Moonlight Sonata.
Yes, nature's music is wonderful. Its scope is un-
limited. It can go from an impassioned, crashing crescendo
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 45
at the height of a storm to the soothing dripping of rain-
drops through the trees after the thunder has passed.
Nature's every mood has appropriate and beautiful accom-
paniment in her music.

REFLECTION
If, after storms have drenched a dripping land,
Some chance commercial traveller should drive
His green sedan down tracks of mud and sand.
Until, near crumbling chaff long since alive.
And trees and bushes tombed in living rain,
He meets and crosses some concession road,
Laid for the passage of ancestral grain,
But broken now beneath the heavy load,
He might, each snaking fence in safety pass,
From a distance hear a mighty cataract.
And pause, amid the mud, adhering fast.
Where newly sprouts of green confirm the fact
That life still lives, and evening's clouded light
Outlines the traveller's slowly coming fight.

THE INFLUENCE OF WARS ON THE DEVELOPMENT
OF CIVILIZATION
War has a very beneficial effect on the world's civiliza-
tion. I do not hold with those who condemn war as a
senseless debacle for it has proved itself in history to be
the only way by which man is able to purge himself of
decay and degradation. It is quite possible that man's
beginnings can be traced to some war between quadrupeds
in which one side, in order to win, found it more expedient
46 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
while fighting to stand on two legs. Down through his-
tory the same basic principle of wars causing progress can
be found.
In ancient history we have numerous clear examples
of this. In the Tigris-Euphrates valley, cradle of civiliza-
tion, many civilizations rose, added their contributions to
man's knowledge, fell into decay and corruption and were
destroyed by some newer, more virile race which repeated
the process. Wars then were the advancement of man to
keep him on the upward path to greater heights. Egypt
is a repetition of this story. Her culture reached a new
level in man's civilization but at a point she stopped and
sank back into near oblivion. Once more, after the cam-
paigns of Alexander the Great had swept over the world,
did she rise to a brief new peak, but here the decay had
advanced too far and even the stimulus of the first world
war could not lift that race out of its rut of degradation.
China is the other great civilization in early times.
Here we have a magnificent example of what could hap-
pen if peace, at least comparative peace, were to allow
civilization, after reaching a new peak, to be left to
languish. China, in the days of Marco Polo, was centuries
ahead of the other parts of the world with regard to the
state of her civilization. But she had reached her peak
and now, eyes cast backward, feasting on the glory of for-
mer days, she slipped down into an unmolested slumber.
No great new upsurge was destined to disturb her, forcing
her on to greater efforts. Instead China slid quietly into
a state of somnolence from which she did not recover.
Only lately has she bestirred herself under the pressure of
a threat from her erstwhile mate, Japan, and war is now
purging the last signs of mediaeval feudalism from her
soul.
The Roman civilization is again different. It also rose
to great new heights, being the glory of the western world.
Falling into decay, its course of history did not follow
China's. Instead barbarian hordes poured down from the
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 47
north, burst the last walls and buttresses of the Roman
Empire, smashed down the once proud legions and threw
Europe into the Dark Ages. But soon the new virility of
the barbarians, having no more wars to fight, was thrown
into the advancement of man and his knowledge, taking
from the monks and Mohammedans and adding new ideas.
The Rebirth and Reformation were fruits of this new in-
centive. The new nations and races, which took part in
the partitioning of the Roman Empire, have lifted civiliza-
tion up to a new high. War again has brought new and
tremendous vitality into the struggle to advance civiliza-
tion, sweeping aside the dregs of dust and decay.
To-day. in this new series of World wars, one cannot
help but feel that we are on the verge of a great new step
forward. The industrial revolution has speeded up the ad-
vance tremendously but it is still questionable whether we
are to undergo another dark age before we achieve greater
heights. Perhaps man can go ahead with the mere stimu-
lus of a war; we can only wait and see. Until man has
reached that point where he can avoid the rut of decay
and corruptness, wars will occur to purge those evils from
his system and to enable him to go onward with renewed
vigour. Wars are the means by which civilization ad-
vances.

ATTACK IN THE NIGHT
Night had fallen, and through the curtain of darkness
vague silhouettes of many ships could be discerned
struggling forward through the inky seas. The omnipo-
tent darkness was pierced only by a pin-point of light from
some careless vessel. The resounding roar of the sea, the
howi of the wind and the pounding of the waves was broken
by the occasional hoot of a destroyer racing up and down
the silent convoy like a watch-dog guarding its sheep.
Suddenly the sea seemed to burst, followed by a
48 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
frenzied upheaval of orange and yellow flame, and an ear-
shattering explosion swept over the scene. The sea flew
into a mass of dancing flame which, in its fury and like a
last pyre, illuminated the surrounding scene of destruction
and devastation. The convoy passed like a funeral pro-
cession, seemingly unconscious while the wounded ship
floundered and then resignedly settled to her fate, with
greedy fingers of the sea stretched out to seize her. Over
the angled sides of the doomed vessel tiny forms, like so
many ants, struggled to escape the ever-tightening circle
of flame. Lifeboats, filled with brave and wounded men,
pulled slowly away from the blazing inferno, their gun-
wales lapped by the black water. Others, tired of the
stiTiggle, were claimed as victims of the sea.
The struggle passed from view as the stricken tanker
dipped below the waves, and once again the convoy headed
into the night and uncertainty.

A SNOW STORM
It had been a pleasant day — the warm rays of the sun
had begun to pierce the snow on the ground and here and
there small patches of grey, black and even a faint green
could be seen. At mid-day, however, the sky lost its deep
blue which was replaced by thick white billows of drifting
fleece. Towards evening, heavy flakes of snow slanted
down from a dull grey sky. The air remained warm but
the sun no longer glittered on the window panes nor
sparkled on the myriads of tiny snow crystals which lay
peacefully at rest on winter's frosty fields and frozen
roads.
Slowly the breeze quickened until it became a biting
wind, rising in gusts and chilling the air. It grew stronger
and became more steady and piercing. The snow was
whipped against the buildings and gaunt trees. Now it
came not in large soft flakes but in tiny stinging pin points
which numbed all who tried to stand against them. The
wind moaned and whistled shrilly around the comers of
the buildings and through the bare trees. A dead branch
fell crashing to the ground and the sharp cracking was
quickly swallowed in the shrieking of the gale. The wind
rose in a final frenzy, slashing at young trees and cutting
into the cold impassive bricks of the buildings. Then it
died.
Here and there were growing piles of deceiving, soft
white snow. The bitter air lay calm upon the drifts and
the frigid pin points ceased their headlong flight to earth.
The only evidence of the onslaught just passed was the
deep rolling drifts, the broken boughs and the now almost
tangible silence which hung like a curtain over the bruised
but beautiful landscape.

TELEVISION
Television could undoubtedly take the place of radio
as a source of entertainment throughout the civilized
world. Before this can take place, however, two great
problems, which in turn cause countless other perplexities,
have to be solved. The range of effective reception of a
television set is no more than a sixty mile radius of the
transmitting station, and though this may be overcome by
sending the programme in relays, it is nevertheless quite
a problem. A method was tried of sending the programme
by wire but the cost of the line was prohibitive and the
project dropped. The second problem is that of price. A
television set now costs about four thousand dollars and
owing to the skill required in the manufacture of the tubes
and other parts, the price seems unlikely to drop unless
methods of mass production are found.
If a solution to these two problems is found, the tele-
vision set will probably be hindered by the powerful motion
picture industry which has everything to lose. With the
aid of three or four television cameras and a special ap-
paratus which televises movies, it is already possible to
produce as good plays as any Hollywood director could
hope to produce. The three cameras can televise the action
in a studio and the movie televiser provides background
and change of scene. It has even been possible, though
very inefficiently as yet, to superimpose the actors in the
studio upon any given background such as a mountain
scene, a forest clearing or a city street. This is impossible
to attain in a small set.
Television is the result of man's efforts to imitate the
human eye, and he has already improved on it in seme
respects. Man has, from earliest times, tried to imitate
nature, and though his final result is somewhat different
from the object found in nature, the principle is virtually
the same.
52 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
When light strikes the retina of the eye, it is con-
verted into nervous impulses which are carried along
mj^riads of nerve fibres and registered on the brain. Man
has developed nothing approaching the scope and sensi-
tivity of the human nerve, and in order to produce any
sort of image he has had to turn to the photo-electric cell.
A photo-electric cell may be compared to a flash-light bat-
tery that will give a current only when exposed to some
light, and that will give a current proportional to the bright-
ness of that light. Very many substances have been found
to give off a current resembling the imaginary flash-light
battery and though this current is small, it is easily ampli-
fied by means of vacuum tubes. The best photo-electric
substance is selenium, which conducts an electric current
about five million times as well in light as in total darkness.
The first attempts at television were efforts to dupli-
cate the human eye. A great many selenium cells formed
the retina, and the current given off was recorded by an
equal number of minute electric lamps, which correspond-
ed to the brain. This idea was never successful owing to
the number of cells, lamps and wires necessary to secure
any image at all.
Then several men began to search for a method by
which the image could be cut up into small pieces and the
light from only one piece at a time could be concentrated
on a single photo-electric cell. Many systems were de-
vised and, as they are almost all the same, the explanation
of one will suffice. The process of cutting up the image
is called scanning. In this system, which was devised by
J. L. Baird in 1926, the scanning was accomplished by a
disc rotated before a photo-electric cell.
To understand the scanning disc one has to imagine,
for example, a disc of cardboard. Close to the edge of
this disc is a small round hole. Beside it is another about
a quarter of an inch to the left and a quarter of an inch
nearer the centre. These holes spiral toward the centre
of the disc for one revolution. By means of this disc the
T. C. S. BUILDINGS, PRESENT AND
FUTURE
On the following two pages will be found a
plan of the present School buildings, together
with additions proposed in the future.
There are several schemes for new build-
ings. The most ambitious Is to make the play-
ing fields into a quadrangle enclosed by a row
of houses for masters and boys along the west
side, by the Junior School on the north, by the
new Chapel and the present buildings on the
east and south.
It is hoped that the new Chapel will be com-
menced very soon after peace is declared.
The present Chapel would then be the Library.
A covered rink may be built In the near future;
it possibly would have been constructed In

1939-1940 had It not been for the outbreak of
war.
Another scheme is to make a smaller quad-
rangle by the construction of a new house west
of the present Trinity hlouse and north by an
archway over the road. The new Chapel or
an assembly hall would stand at the north end
of this house, balancing the present dining
hall. The north side of the quadrangle would
be completed by enclosed cloisters, enabling
boys to reach the Chapel under cover and
without going through the houses.
Additional playing fields can always be
made from the fields south of the School.
It is hoped that the printing of these plans
will provoke interest; any suggestions will be
gratefully received by the hleadmaster and
published in future numbers of "The Record."
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 53
image may be scamied. Each section of the scansion sets
up an electric impulse in the photo-electric cell. So quick-
ly is the scansion completed and the impulses sent out that
when they are rearranged at the receiving station, the
image appears on the screen as a coherent picture. In
general, the receiving set is the sending set turned around.
The disc at both ends must be revolving at precisely the
same speed or the image blurrs. This is a further dif-
ficulty.
Despite these defects, such a system was television
and could be broadcast. Baird had shown that it was pos-
sible, and many men turned to the task of improvement.
They were so successful that they produced a mechanical
apparatus almost as efficient as the present system which
relies entirely on radio tubes of various sorts, sizes and
shapes. The most efficient mechanical system, in spite of
all improvements, is bulky and has noisy, unreliable
motors, an undesirable feature.
The advantage of the new system over the old one is
that it contains no moving parts which can go wrong and
no motors to oil. It needs, being far more sensitive, half
the light necessary for illuminating the image and it is
therefore possible to take pictures outside. Events can be
televised and seen while they happen. It is now possible
by means of a special car to televise from anywhere within
a radius of ten miles from the mother station. In the near
future, in all probability, newsreels will be a thing of the
past: one will be able to see battles while they are being
fought and games while they are being played. The in-
struments in a meteorological balloon will be televised,
and one will be able to observe conditions at different
levels with greater ease than is now possible. Life on the
ocean floor will be seen at depths far greater than any
diver can now go, and this device could help greatly in
salvage work.
The new system contains a camera tube which is
focused much like a movie camera. In fact, the only dif-
54 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
ference between the two is that in the motion picture
camera the film is moved and records a permanent image
of the light which meets it, while the television camera
contains a screen which registers light only while light is
shining on it. This screen consists of very many photo-
electric cells. The current from these cells is taken, one
at a time, so that each cell on the first line gives up its
charge, then each on the line below, and so on until the
screen is completely uncharged. When this is accomplished,
the process begins over again. The current from each cell
can be seen to be proportional to the intensity of the light
which strikes it; consequently, the current led off will be
proportional to the light. The current can be transmitted
much as the varying current from a microphone is broad-
cast.
When the signals are received they are converted in-
to many lines of light of varying intensity, much as a news-
paper photograph consists of many dots of different
shades of grey. These lines are formed with such speed
that the eye sees them as one single image. As it is de-
scribed here it may seem to be very simple. In actual
practice it is one of the most complicated devices man has
discovered. Further, it is the result of the patient re-
search of many who persevered for years on end, refusing
to be discouraged by repeated failures. Now, finally, they
have attained some success.
We know it is possible to record sound on gramaphone
records. It is now possible to record light in the same
way. Even more, the same record can give sound and
light. Probably in the next few years it will be possible
to buy records with a double track, so that you can hear
as well as see, on your television-phonograph set. the play-
ing of a symphony or the singing of a popular song.

"D" DAY
The following description was contained in a letter
from Lieut. Jim Warburton ('34-'39), R.C.A.:—
"After a few more idyllic weeks of glorious weather,
visits to the Thatched Cottage and hectic preparation for
the big do, which we realized was not far off, we were
sealed into our camp. Barbed wire was thrown around
us. guards put on and no one allowed in or out. Then the
Officers were briefed — a whole day's work. I'll never for-
get the thrill I felt as the CO. told us what we were to do,
how we were going to do it and of the magnitude of the
operation. Then we studied maps and aerial photos and
intelligence summaries till we knew the job cold. When
the day was over I knew almost every house in the village
we landed in and exactly where I was to go, how to get
there and what to do. It was a marvellous feeling to be
so familiar with the place.
"A few more days of waiting followed, when we were
issued francs, got rid of all excess baggage and administer-
ed our craft load. I was O.C. troops on my craft, and had
a Major and a couple of Captains under me, so things might
have been a bit tricky except that they were all very de-
cent and we got on famously. Then down to the yards
to load, and a wait of several days on the craft, the hold
jam-packed with vehicles and no room for all the men.
However, they did everything possible to make us com-
fortable and we survived the boredom.
"Not knowing when "D" Day was, there was great
speculation as to the date. We got one rumour, but that
day slipped by and the weather seemed to be getting worse;
I began to be anxious, knowing that a delay would mean
a postponement of anything up to 28 days, and I couldn't
face being sealed in that much longer. However, one
bright day we steamed out past the most amazing collec-
tion of shipping I'll probably ever see, through the boom
and out into the Channel. The way the boat turned and
56 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
tossed I thought even then we'd have to turn back, but on
we went and I felt worse and worse. Fortunately I had
something to do, and between trips to the rail I sorted
maps, briefed the troops and got things ready for the
morrow. Having got everything ready, I managed to get
some sleep, which I now thank my lucky stars I took.
"A rather eerie crossing, as we couldn't show light;
the seas were so high for such craft; and we knew there
might be "E" boats and subs around. However, our faith
in the Navy was not misplaced and there were no incidents
on the way over.
"Up early in the morning to find low clouds and a grey
light and few ships. However, they soon began to gather,
and soon there were as many around us as we'd passed
the night before. The miracle was the Hun didn't seem to
expect us, and there was no enemy activity at all that
stage.
"The forming up, the run in, the wait, the beaching —
off the beaches to find everything as we'd expected, and
so into our first position.
"We sailed inshore, hitting a mine on the way, but that
didn't stop us. We were also being shelled and bombed
but, beyond noticing the spouts of water around us, I
didn't have time to think about it. So we landed, and
pushed inland, firing from one position for awhile before
moving on to another. It was kind of nerve racking, be-
cause all the places had not been cleaned out, and we
weren't quite sure when a sniper would get after us. Then
our first night ashore — pretty tough. The first Jerry
planes started coming over at dusk, and our ack-ack was
terrific, really the worst part of the thing. However, most
of us got a little sleep that night. I was so dog-tired I
couldn't stay awake and just dropped off in a most peculiar
position up against the bogies of the tank.
"By the next day things were beginning to settle down,
and though we did a lot of firing and the Hun counter-
attacked quite a lot, we stayed in the position we'd occupied
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
57
that day for several days. We had a Jerry strong point
at our back. On a hill about 1000 yards across a valley
and completely overlooking my troop was a very strongly
fortified position; why he never bothered us I don't know.
A couple of tanks went up to have a look-see, and he en-
gaged them. We even did a bit of shooting of what amount-
ed to direct laying — about the best fun we've had so far.
It's a great thing to be able to see what you're shooting
at, and the gunners very rarely get that opportunity.
"You ought to see our air support. It's magnificent,
and we get a great thrill watching the Typhoons rocket-
bombing. They just queue up in the sky and go diving
in, then you see a couple of flashes and a tail of smoke as
two rockets head for the ground. Heavy bombers came
over one day, too, and the mess they made of their targets
was unbelievable.
"Everything is going pretty nicely, and we're not
having a bad time, though occasionally we get shaken up
by a bit of shelling "

HOCKEY
With the change in season comes a complete change
of sport. Hockey moves into the picture as the leading
game while basketball, gym, swimming and squash also
take their places.
The First Hockey Team has started off its schedule
with a very successful record. They have won their first
seven games and finished on top of their group of the
O.M.H.A. Juvenile "B" series with Bowmanville, Cobourg,
and Port Hope. They have advanced into further play-
offs with other juvenile teams in the league, the winners
to be the Ontario champions. Aside from their league con-
tests, exhibition games are being played with Lakefield,
U.C.C., Pickering and Ridley. There are six old colours
on this year's team, and their previous practice together is
producing a smart combination. Huycke i has been elected
Captain, and Dobell i Vice-Captain.
Middleside is not entered in any league, but exhibition
games have been played with Upper Canada and Lakefield,
and it is hoped that others will be arranged in the near
future. Bird has been elected Captain and Hawke i Vice-
Captain.
Littleside has been divided into two leagues and each
team plays several times a week. They thus receive con-
siderable practice and undoubtedly some of the experience
needed to play on Bigside or Middleside will be gained by
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 63
this plan. Games have been played with Port Hope,
Lakefield, and U.C.C. Wells has been elected Captain and
Newcomb Vice-Captain.

SCHOOL v^. PORT HOPE
At Port Hope, January 23: Won 13-4
In their opening game, the T.C.S. First Hockey Team,
showing good combination on the forward lines and excel-
lent defensive play, overwhelmed the Port Hope Ontarios
13-4. Paced by Dobell and McMurrich with three goals
each, the School dominated the play except for a second
period lapse during which three Port Hope goals were
scored.
Both teams started slowly but the pace soon quickened.
T.C.S. had a slight edge in the play, but Naylor, in the
Port Hope nets, kept them from scoring until McMurrich
finally rapped home a rebounded shot from Sinclair. In-
spired by a one goal lead. T.C.S. forced the play for the
remainder of the period, with Gilbert scoring twice and
McMurrich a second time to give them a 4-0 lead at the
end of the period.
The School started fast in the second period with
Howard scoring on a hard shot from the blue line in the
opening moments. Dobell made it 6-0 when he scored
from McMurrich's rebound. At this point, the Port Hope
goaler, Naylor, was injured and had to be replaced by
Burley. The game began to get faster with Port Hope
threatening, but good defensive work by the School re-
pelled their attacks. Port Hope continued to press, how-
ever, and Lewis finally scored on a semi-breakaway dur-
ing a T.C.S. attack. The Trinity aggressiveness slackened
after this, and Hunt scored twice more for Port Hope,
showing very tricky stick-handling.
The School came to life in the final period, outscoring
their opponents 7-1. McMurrich bagged his third goal of
the evening on a long, low shot and Dobell scored during
64 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
a mix-up around the Port Hope goal. Huycke got two in
a row on lovely shots from just inside the blue line. Two
more goals were scored while the School was short-handed.
Sinclair getting the first from Dobell, and the latter get-
ting the second on a breakaway. Robarts scored the nnal
goal of the game on a perfect passing play from Roenisch
and Gilbert. Port Hope's lone tally came mid-way through
the period with Lewis scoring on a ganging attack.
Although the T.C.S. forwards played fast and aggres-
sive hockey, with good passmg, it was the defence .vho
starred during the game. Both Howard and Huycke play-
ed an excellent brand of hockey throughout, breaking up
many a dangerous rush by the plucky, but out-played Port
Hope team. Hunt was the star for the losers with two
goals, threatening time and again to break through the
T.C.S. defence.
Port Hope— Goal, Naylor; defence, Currelly, Lewis; centre,

SCHOOL vs. COBOURG
At Cobourg, Januajry 26: Won 8-4.
T.C.S. won their second game in two starts by defeat-
ing a hard-skating Cobourg team 8-4. Although scrambly
in places, both teams showed excellent passing and it was
only the superior close-in play of the Trinity forwards
which decided the game.
The first period opened with a School drive to the
Cobourg end where, after two minutes of scrambly play,
McMurrich flicked Dobell's pass into the nets. For the
next ten minutes play remained even, until Dobell took
Sinclair's pass close in and made the score 2-0 for Trinity.
Cobourg then pressed hard, and for the remainder of the
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 65
period had the balance of the play, but were unable to beat
Dawson in the School nets.
The second period saw a continuance of Cobourg's
drive and, while Howard was serving a penalty, Hogan
scored on a scramble to make the score 2-1. The School
came back when McMurrich scored from Sinclair, but
Elliot beat Dawson on a hard shot two minutes later to
make the score 3-2, The play, although rough, remained
even, the line of Gilbert, Robarts and Roenisch working-
well for Trinity. McMurrich soon added another, however,
when he backhanded Sinclair's pass from in front of the
net. Play was again even, the Cobourg goalie making
beautiful saves, until Sinclair beat him on a lovely play
from McMurrich and Dobell.
Two minutes after the final period opened, Hogan beat
Dawson on a breakaway to make the score 5-3, Cobourg
then pressed hard and only the excellent play of Dawson
kept them from scoring. McMurrich, however, took the
School out of danger again when he scored from Dobell on
a breakaway. Trinity took advantage of a Cobourg
penalty, when Sinclair made the score 7-3 on a break from
Dobell. Cobourg pressed hard, but Sinclair scored again
on a combination from Dobell and McMurrich, With but
fifteen seconds to go, Monroe scored on another break-
away, to make the final score 8-4.
The play was hard and fast with neither team able to
keep the edge, while both goalies spoiled many excellent
scoring chances. The rushing of Howard and Huycke on
defence took the School out of danger many times, while
the line of Dobell, McMurrich and Sinclair showed very
good passing and scored all the points. Starring were Daw-

MIDDLESIDE
SCHOOL vs. U.C.C.
At Port Mope, January 27: Lost 2-0.
This was the first game of the season for Middleside,
and although they were beaten 2-0 by a stronger team,
they put up an excellent showing.
In the early part of the first period the play was very
close, with Bird showing some good stick-handling for the
School and Pringle driving hard at the T.C.S. goal. Play
remained even for the remainder of the period with the
exception of one brilliant rush by Campbell and two break-
aways by Kent of U.C.C.
U.C.C. had the upper hand for most of the second
period as their passes were clicking. Those of the School,
on the other hand, were continually going wide so that
the puck stayed at the T.C.S. end. U.C.C. kept missing
until Morphy scored on a pass from Kent. During this
period both Fennell for the School and Orr for U.C.C.
played exceptionally well in goal.
The last period brought U.C.C. their second goal when
Ball countered with Chisholm assisting. Hewitt played
well for U.C.C. and twice would have scored but for Fen-
nell. Bird and Lambert were best for the School, saving
many of Upper Canada's threats and trying vainly to beat
Orr and even the score.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 67
In the first period Bazor opened the scoring for U.C.C.
on a very long shot from the blue line. Gill, however,
soon scored for T.C.S. on a pass from Rogers. U.C.C. then
ran wild, and by the end of the second period they had
tallied four more, with Stewart, Rennie and Bazor as the
goal-getters. In the last period U.C.C. outshot the T.C.S.
team considerably, and Goodbody made many excellent
stops in the School's nets. However, Masters and Cork
were able to net one each to make the final score 7-1.
For the College, Bazor, Cork and Masters were the
best, and for T.C.S., Gill and Goodbody played well.

LITTLESIDE "B" vs. COBOURG
At Cobourg, Januarj- 24: Lost 7-4.
In their first game of the season, Littleside "B" were
defeated by Cobourg 7-4. The School was leading in the
third period 4-3 and it was not until the very end that
Cobourg managed to get the winning goals.
T.C.S., on a shot from the boards by Black, got the
first goal, but Cobourg tied it up almost immediately on a
shot from Campbell. In the second period Kingman and
McPherson each got a goal for T.C.S., but Cobourg again
equalized the score with goals by Campbell and Medhurst.
Black got his second goal of the evening in the opening
minutes of the third period. A few minutes later, how-
ever, while McLennan was serving a penalty, Cobourg
scored two goals in quick succession. Two more followed,
and the game ended with T.C.S. feverishly trying to tie the
score.
Individually the School was better than their op-
ponents, but they lacked co-operation. For Cobourg, Camp-
bell and Medhurst starred while the School's best were
Black, McPherson, Deverall and McLennan.

At Port Hope, January 31: Lost 9-5.
Littleside "B" dropped its second game of the season
to Lakefield by the score of 9-5. Both teams played well
but the second period rally by Lakefield turned the trick.
T.C.S. started well when Kingman put them one up
in the first period. Kingman notched another early in the
second period, but the superior play of the Lakefield for-
wards proved to be too much and at the end of the period
the School was trailing 6-2. Gierson, Bums, McCulloch,
Wilkes and Arnoldi were the Grove marksmen. The third
period was featured by close play, and each team scored
three times. McPherson scored twice and Kingman once
for T.C.S. while Wilkes collected all three for Lakefield.

SCHOOL vs. PETERBOROUGH COLLEGIATE
At Peterborough, January 19: Won 22-18
In the opening game of the season, Trinity College
School's first Basketball team defeated Peterborough Col-
legiate, 22-18. Despite less than a week's practice, T.C.S.
played a fine game and deserved to win.
The first half started slowly, neither team taking any
chances. Then the School jumped into an early lead which
held throughout the game. Carhartt sank three from
under the basket while Drew, French and "Warner added
one each to make the half-time score 13-8.
Peterborough rapidly cut down Trinity's lead at the
start of the second half, and as a result the game became
wild and scrambly. At three-quarter time the score stood
16-15 for T.C.S. The last period settled down to excellent
basketball, Peterborough vainly trying to crack Trinity's
70 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
defence, while the School took advantage of every break to
make the final score 22-18 m their favour.
For T.C.S. French i, Toole and Drew played well, but
it was their zone defence which contributed mainly to the
victory. Rooke, Estlick and Courtney were the best for
the losers.

SCHOOL vs. rORT HOPE
At Port Hope, January 27: Won 51-46.
The School won its first league game, defeating Port
Hope High School 51-46. The game, considering the small
fioor, was wide open and many good plays were set up by
both teams.
In the opening quarter play was slow and scrainbly
with few effective efforts being made by either team. Port
Hope outscored the School 10-8. By the second quarter
the School had begun to untrack, and although their plays
were still scrambly they were accurate enough under the
basket to put themselves in front 22-20 at half time.
The third quarter was a repetition of the second with
very close checking, each team collecting eight points; but
the School really opened up in the last quarter and looked
like a first class basketball team. They ran up a lead of
twelve points but then allowed Port Hope to narrow it
down to five in the dying minutes of the game.
French was the best player on the floor, accounting
for nineteen of the School's fifty-one points. Toole played
a very good defensive game as well as figuring in many of
the plays. Watson was the best for Port Hope, chalking
up twenty-four points, and Bosnell also played well.

SCHOOL vs. OOBOURG
At Port Hone, Januar> 31: Won 57-42.
The School chalked up its third straight win by beat-
ing Cobourg 57-42. Featured were the close checking of
both teams and the good zone defences used throughout
the game. Cobourg showed some very fine, fast breaks.
but they seemed to lose control of the play in the School's
end too quickly. T.C.S. first began very scrambly and were
slow making their breaks, but by the end of the game they
were working the ball around very well and effectively
carried the play.
The first quarter was ragged with Cobourg carrying
the play to a lead of 13-7. The School came to life in the
second quarter and they missed very few opportunities to
score. Cobourg made many fast breaks but they were
careless under the School's basket, and at half-time the
School led 30-27.
The game opened up in the next quarter and the School
outscored Cobourg handily, leading at the end of the period
45-35. T.C.S. added twelve points in the last quarter and
managed to hold Cobourg to seven. Score at full time
was 57-42 for T.C.S.
The outstanding player of the game was Drew of
T.C.S. He amassed a total of thirty-two points as well as
setting up many other baskets for his team-mates. Ander-
son of Cobourg and French i of T.C.S. were the other
standouts.
Cobourg— Anderson, Ball, Curtis, McMillan, Hoselton, Quigley,
BigTvin, Erskine.
T.C.S.— French 1, Drew, Carhartt, Wade, Warner, Ligertwood,

So far this term, nobody can complain of a lack of
winter conditions — ice and snow are to be had for the
asking.
The J. S. has had three very successful skiing trips to
the Golf Club to date and we hope to have several more
More boys than ever seem to own skis and there are quite
a few very useful performers.
The J.S. choir is to be congratulated for its excellent
work in the Carol Service this year. Both Thompson i and
Ketchum i acquitted themselves very well in their solos.
This year, for the first time in the history of the
Junior School, the Christmas dinner was held in our own
dining hall. In previous years we had always enjoyed
joining with the Senior School, but the greatly increased
numbers made it impossible this year. To begin the pro-
ceedings the Choir processed around the hall carrying

lighted candles and singing carols. A presentation was
later made to Miss Smith by the Stamp Club. After
dinner, movies were shown in the classroom block.
Our sincere thanks to Mrs. E. McPherson for a gift
of football equipment and also to Howard. Bovaird and
Britton for gifts of football equipment and First Team
sweaters.
We wish David Foster and Bill Mathews a safe return
to England and the very best of luck in their new schools.
THE STAMP CLUB
The Stamp Club has been going for quite a number of
years now and has come to be a very definite part of the
J.S. Sunday morning routine. It was started and run by
Miss Smith, who is probably responsible for many boys
from the School taking up this interesting hobby. She
always seemed to have lots of "traders" and stamps given
by her have covered the first pages of many an album. We
shall miss the knock at the door on Sunday morning with
the unvarying question "Is Miss Smith, the Stamp Sir,
here yet?" We shall also miss her unfailing interest in
the J.S. and her willing help on so many occasions. All
of us at the Junior School wish her the very best of luck
and many years of well-earned rest and happiness.

THE SHEEP
The lambs are frisking in my sight,
The lambs are frisking day and night,
And when I see them all at play,
It's pleasant on a summer's day.
In winter they go into pens
And all get chummy with the hens.
A shepherd keeps them in his sight
And guards them from nearly every plight.
The shepherd lives in a house on wheels;
I never can tell what he feels.
His house is very nice inside —
He's fond of it and it's his pride.
The little lambs have mothers, too,
Who tell their children what to do;
That when the sheep go to be sheared
There is nothing to be feared.

EXPLOITS OF A PRIVATE DICK
"Beefy" Brown (avoirdupois 283) had never been
much good at anything. His glorious career as an errand
boy — fired, garbage man — fired, moving man — collapsed
under piano and quit, had left him with about five dollars
to his name. Now, alas, he was without a job; Beefy was
practically penniless and he knew that he would have to
find a job or starve. He settled down in an easy ( ?) chair
in his cheap little attic room and dug his nose into a de-
tective story. The one in question, "The Case of the
Missing Torso", was about a young private detective who
found a pair of luscious legs in a bathtub, but couldn't find
the rest of the body. He discovered and captured the
killers, trying to take the rest of the body out of the ice-
box, and became famous overnight. Slowly a great idea
dawTied on our hero. Why not?
Next day found him established in an office, on a loan
of twenty-five dollars, with the legend "Bill Brown, Private
Detective" on glazed glass on the door. Very soon he had
his first client. A small nervous man knocked on the door,
which promptly collapsed. The tiny fellow faltered and
then rapped on Beefy's desk for attention. The desk
crumbled onto the floor and Beefy, who had been asleep,
woke up. The visitor uttered three words — "They're after
me!" A shot rang out and he fell dead at the detective's
feet. Just then three men walked into the room, one with
a smoking revolver in his hand.
"So he squealed, eh?" asked the man with the gun.
"And told ja about our diamond smugglin' racket,
huh?" said the second man.
"Which shouldn't worry him anyway," growled the
third, " 'cause he's just the customs chief."
"Waal, were gonna havta bump youse off as well
now," said the first man again, "seein' as he told ja the
woiks."
They forced Beefy out of the window and onto the fire
escape. About half way down Beefy stepped on a weak
80 TRINITY COLUEGE SCHOOL RECORD
section and the four men fell down two floors onto the
pavement. Dazed and bruised, two of the gangsters got
to their feet. One lay still — he had landed with Beefy on
top of him and looked like chicken paste. Covered by the
leader's gun, Beefy got up. They walked across the road
and climbed into the usual sleek, black limousine. Beefy
was being taken for a ride!
About half an hour later the car arrived out in the
country and stopped on a deserted by-road. The first man
got out and tripped on the running board. Our hero, fol-
lowing close behind, stepped on his head and killed him
instantly, but messily. Beefy apologized profusely and
received a bullet in the arm from the surviving gangsters.
Angered, the lumbering giant's huge hand swung around
and mashed the surviving gangster's head horribly. Beefy
piled in the body and drove to the police station. In the
pocket of the front seat were found complete plans of a
smuggling organization and the names of every man con-
cerned.
Our hero became very famous and did many more
valiant deeds in his life. At last he was good at some-
thing.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY
"Grood-bye, boys," cried Mrs. Bermingham, as she saw
her two boys — Jack, seventeen, and Bill, fourteen — leave in
their canoes. It was the beginning of a hunting trip from
Chatham to London, Ontario,
"S'long!" they shouted back in unison, little realizing
their future adventures.
Their craft was a home-made, canoe-shaped kayak.
The opening to seat yourself in, though, was large enough
for two.
Three hours later the boys, who were thoroughly ex-
hausted, decided to stop for lunch. They shot a couple of
rabbits and barbecued them over a fire. Life went on like
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 81
this for the next two and a half days till, finally. Bill and
Jack, completely worn out. reached London.
They beached their canoes in some bulrushes and set
out for the city, seeking good times. After about two
hours, when they had practically drunk all the pop in the
town, they decided to go home. When they were half the
distance to the boats they realized they hadn't seen a news-
paper for two days. Bill agreed to procure one, so Jack
proceeded back alone. Bill hurried to the city and found
a paper. When he saw the headlines he was startled be-
yond his wits. He read in blazing headlines "Three
Notorious Criminals Escape from Kingsfield Penitentiary
— Fifty Dollars Reward for Each". — "That's only a mile
from here." he muttered.
Meanwhile three policemen, who were looking for the
prisoners, stumbled upon the boys' vessel. "Hey, O'Leary
and Sullivan," shouted one, "We've got an important clue!"
The other policemen rushed to the scene and gasped.
O'Leary put his hand in the canoe and removed a forty-
four.
"Now we're getting somewhere," one said.
"I've got an idea," Marlowe exclaimed. "We'll all wait
here and lay a trap for the guys."
"What do they look like?" inquired Sullivan of Mar-
lowe. "We don't want to make a mistake."
"Well, I don't know exactly," he replied, "but one is
a fairly young man about seventeen and — " Just then
there was a crackle of underbrush and Jack appeared on
the scene. "Put your hands up; you're coming with us,"
Marlowe snapped as he whipped out his revolver.
"Wha — " Jack exclaimed, "Good Lord, what is this?"
"You know dam well," sneered Marlowe. "Snap the
bracelets on him. O'Leary. You and Sullivan take him to
the station and I'll wait for the other two."
Jack, realizing that he was helpless, submitted himself
to them without putting up much fight. Two minutes
later he was being bundled off to jail.
82 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Meanwhile Bill, who wanted to tell Jack the news,
hurried to the clearing. As he was nearing his camping
site he heard some harsh gutteral voices speaking. When
he walked closer he distinguished some words — "You won't
get away with this," he heard, "the others will be back
soon." Bill peered through the underbrush and was horri-
fied at the sight which greeted him. He saw a policeman
with hands bound and three ruffians prodding him with
theirs guns. Bill gasped, for he realized these were the
crooks. He thought fast and started sneaking towards
the canoe. He reached it safely and silently, and searched
for his rifle. He saw that one was gone but he knew that
another one was safely hidden in the bow of the boat. He
crawled forward and found it.
Slowly he crept back and reached the clearing with-
out being discovered. He startled the criminals by his
short but curt command "Drop your guns." One of them
whirled around and a loud report split the air. Bill felt a
bullet whiz by his ear, but his nerves were not shaken. He
repeated his order and the crooks, dumbfounded, obeyed it.
The lad walked over to one of them, pulled a dagger from
his hip pocket, walked over to Marlowe and cut his bonds.
"Thanks," he said, "you'll get the reward for this."
At that moment, Sullivan and O'Leary appeared from
the woods with Jack. "It was the wr- what on earth!"
O'Leary gasped, "you've got 'em, eh? Nice going, but
who's this guy?" he asked, pointing to Bill.
"It wasn't me who captured them," Marlowe laughed.
"It was this lad. The prisoners attacked me from behind
and took me by surprise and tied me up. About five
minutes later this lad came and overwhelmed them."
Two hours later Jack and Bill were on their way home
with one hundred and fifty on them.
"That was fun," Jack exclaimed, "but am I ever
envious of you!"

Lieutenant-Coionel Gordon Wotherspoon ('19-'26),
South Alberta Reconnaissance Regiment, has been award-
ed the Distinguished Service Order for great bravery and
resource and for inspiring leadership given to the force he
commanded in a crucial engagement in France. The cita-
tion reads as follows: —
"On August 18, 1944, a Reconnaissance regiment to-
gether w^ith one company of infantry were given the task
of defending St. Lambert-sur-Dives against a break-
through of the enemy trapped in the Falaise gap. Lt.-Col.
Wotherspoon was in command of the force. On August
19, 1944, the enemy attacked the position in great force
and continued the assault for the following three days
using every form of attack from infantry infiltration to
mass attacks with Panther and Tiger tanks.
"During the entire period, Lt.-Col. Wotherspoon main-
tained complete control of his forces, reorganizing and re-
sisting his defences to meet every attack successfully. He
visited all his positions personally many times under heavy
mortar and shell fire. The example set by this officer and
the skill with which he deployed resulted in the prevention
of any break-through by the enemy. By the constant
offensive action of his command, inspired by his example,
severe enemy casualties were inflicted and hundreds of
enemy killed or taken prisoner."
*****
The award of the M.B.E. to Major W. H. Broughall
('27-'32) was made as of December 23. The only details
we have so far come from a fellow officer who says that
BUl's work has been uniformly good, and since D-day, out-
standing.
*****
Flight Lieutenant Paul McFarlane ('31-'36) was
awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for "great gal-
lantry in the performance of his duty while serving with
No. 5 Squadron of the R.C.A.F." The citation reads as
follows: —
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 85
"This officer, throughout a long tour on coastal opera-
tions, has performed his duties as a navigator with the ut-
most skill and efficiency. Throughout long and arduous
flights, often under adverse weather conditions, the man-
ner in which he has carried out his duties has set a splen-
did example to all members of his crew. He is a zealous
and resolute member of aircraft crew."
Paul enlisted in April, 1941, trained with ground crew
and later remustered to air crew. He received his ob-
server's wings at Rivers, Man., also training at Toronto
and Prince Albert, Sask., and receiving his commission at
Frederickton, N.B. He was stationed in Newfoundland
for a year, and is at present based at Yarmouth, N.S., with
the East Coast Command.

was flying Mosquitoes and had been on operations in the
Bomber Command.
*****
Flight Lieutenant Bob Keefer ('29-'36) has also been
awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Bob has been
overseas again after instructing in Canada for a while. We
know he is engaged in photo-reconnaissance work and hope
to receive the citation soon.

MISSING
We were very sorry to learn that Flying Officer Stuart
O'Brien ('30-'33), R.C.A.F., had been reported missing
after air operations over Duren, Germany, early in Decem-
ber. Stuart joined the McGill C.O.T.C. in 1940, received
his commission with the Royal Canadian Artillery, and
spent two and a half years overseas in the 1st, Survey
Regiment. In 1943, he transferred to the R.C.A.F., won
his wings and a commission and returned overseas in
January. 1944. Stuart was flying a Spitfire when last
heard from. We sincerely hope that news will come of
his safety.
PRISONERS OF WAR
We were relieved to hear that Capt. Tom King ('28-
'31), previously reported missing, is now a prisoner of war
in Germany. Tom joined the Kent Regiment in June, 1940,
later going overseas on loan to the Imperial Army; he was
taken prisoner in Holland.
The following addresses have been received: —
Capt. Thomas L. Alexander, M.B.E., Canadian, Pri-
soner of War No. 623, Oflag 79, Germany.
Lieut. J. R. Vipond, Canadian, Prisoner of War No.
139428, Stalag 7A, Germany.
Tommy Alexander's father received a prisoner of war
card from him in December in which he mentioned having
been hit three times "by them thar bullets" but in spite of
the extra ballast was feeling fine.
WOUNDED
Lieut. G. Blake Knox ('30-'34), 1st Battalion, the
Black Watch (R.H.R.) of Canada, who was first wounded
in Normandy last August 12, rejoined his Battalion and
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 87
was severely wounded in Belgium on September 29. His
wounds of the head and back, involving the loss of one eye,
were first treated in the forward area. He was flown to
England and was reported recovering satisfactorily in hos-
pital there in October.
Lieut. Robert Fisher ('27-'29), Royal Canadian Regt..
was wounded in action in Italy on December 16. The
wounds were in the neck and right arm and he expected
to be in hospital for a few months. Robert served with
the Canadian Fusiliers in Kiska for six months before
transferring to the R.C.R.
Lieut. Gordon Rawlinson, M.C., ('33-'36), Royal Cana-
dian Dragoons, was wounded for the second time on
December 17. This news came the day following the an-
nouncement of his award. An amputation of his left leg
below the knee was necessary, but we were glad to hear
that Gord was recovering quite well. He is expected
to return not later than April. Before going to Italy, Gord
was Captain of the Canadian track team, and had distin-
guished himself in many important battle manoeuvres.
*****
Lieutenant John Hayes ('35-'38) was wounded in Hol-
land in September. He was sprayed by machine gun bul-
lets and later "stopped a few pieces" from a grenade. He
writes that he has been "grafting a new starboard ear"
and we have heard that he has recovered. Johnnie was
married last May.
We were much relieved to hear that Flying Officer
Bill Mood ('28-'38) was back at his base in England with
only a sprained ankle. Bill was reported missing on
December 3 and about a week later word came that one
member of the crew had parachuted to safety at Liege with
reason to hope for the others. It has been suggested that
Bill's gym. work, including the flag-pole at "Craigiebum"
was valuable preparation!
88 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Commenting on his receipt of the D.F.C., Paul McFar-
lane ('31-'36) says "... One of the most ironical aspects
of the event is that friend Bob Keefer received a similar
award just two days later. I never could get a step ahead
of that man." Paul further mentions that Bob hoped to
be back in Canada before spring, and that Peter Heybroek
('33-'36), recently home on thirty days' furlough, was
making arrangements to bring his wife to Canada. Paul
sends best wishes and says "the training I received at the
School must be borne in mind at such a time."

Captain Charlie Pentland ('22-'27) has spent a most
interesting few years. Before the war he went to Eng-
land and joined Imperial Airways, flying between Singa-
pore and other points in the Far East, and England. For
a while his headquarters were in Durban and he lived for
a time in Palestine, working with another officer to open
the Palestine Airways. He also lived in Haifa and Tel-
Aviv.
On leave in Winnipeg at the outbreak of war, Charlie
immediately returned to England and tried to join the
R.A.F. He was not allowed to change to a fighter group
as careful pilots were needed for flying large transport
planes. This has meant several years of flying people of
importance around the world, and his work has been neces-
sarily secretive. After so many years, it can be told that
one assignment was flying King Peter of Yugoslavia to
England; other assignments have taken Charlie to five
continents.
Late in January, he piloted the British Overseas Air-
ways Liberator bringing Progressive Conservative Leader
John Bracken back to Canada. The trip established a re-
cord flying time of nine hours and twenty minutes for the
non-stop, 2,400 statute-mile flight from Iceland to Mon-
treal.
Charlie married an English girl about three years ago,
has a small son, and is stationed at Montreal.

It was incorrectly reported in the October issue that
Alec MacLaurin ('22-'25) had lost a leg in France. We are
very glad to be able to rectify the error; Alec writes:
'*.... sorry the papers mucked it up, but I have not lost
a leg. I got a burst of M/G through my thigh and knee
v/hich chopped up the nerves. My leg from the knee down
is paralyzed but after a bit of operating they feel I may
be as good as new ... I am not being discharged from the
Army".
Alec was wounded on July 26 at St. Andre-sur-Orne
when he was in command of the advance guard. Most of
the men with him v/ere killed. Major J. R. Popham ('28-
'29) joined the action later and was badly hit. but he has
pretty well recovered now.
"Skip" Finley ('33-'40) was in the same hospital in
England; Alec was writing from Ste. Anne de Bellevue,
Quebec.

Dick Moysey ('39-'41) is a Pilot Officer in the R.C.A.F..
stationed at Claresholm, Alberta. Dick graduated from
S.F.T.S. last April and was sent to Nova Scotia before
being posted overseas; instead of sailing he was returned

George Gaisford ('20-'23), Lieutenant-Colonel in the
Royal Armoured Corps, writes from London to thank the
School for the cigarettes. George was recently awarded
the D.S.O. for gallantry in action near Caen, Normandy,
on July 10, but we do not yet know the details concern-

to be fit again for active duty until February, and in the
meantime has been working at the Ministry of Supply. We
were very sorry to learn that George had lost an eye.

Samuel Daw and Mrs. Daw, and three brothers, Charles
('06-'08), of Elrose, Sask., Fraser ('00-'04), of Carlisle.
Ont.. and Rev, William Henry, of Hamilton, to whom we
send our sympathy.
MRS. HAULTAIN
T.C.S. boys everywhere will be grieved to learn of the
death in Port Hope on January 24 of Mrs. Haultain, for
many years a close friend of the School and mother of three
Old Boys. "Grannie", as she came to be affectionately
known by the boys, was present at most School functions.
She kept up her interest in T.C.S. affairs to the end and it
will be strange to be without her on future occasions.
During holidays, hundreds of boys who have remain-
ed at the School will remember her continued hospitality;
she was always upset at the thought of any boy spending
his holiday without special attention at Christmas and
Easter.
We send our sympathy to Captain Robin Haultain
{'04-'09). R.C.A.. Norman Haultain ('12-'15). Captain
Charlie Haultain, E.D. ('13-'18), Midland Regiment and
Miss Etta Haultain, of Port Hope.
106 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
F. G. WHITNEY
Forbes Gamble Whitney ('65-'68) was the oldest living
Old Boy and the sixth boy to enter the School, then situated
at Weston. He kept in close touch with us, sending greet-
ings at the Anniversary celebrations in 1940 and maintain-
ing his membership in the O.B.A. until his death.
He was born in the old Whitney homestead in Toronto,
now part of the Wellesley Hospital. As a young man he
joined the real estate firm established by his father, and
succeeded him as head of the company.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. O. M. Biggar,
Ottawa, and Miss Rena Whitney, at home, and two sons,
Arthur, Edmonton, and Claude Whitney, Toronto.

those that are missing : comfort and protect those
in the hands of the enemy. Be with them in the
hour of danger, strengthen them in the hour of
weakness, sustain and comfort them in the hour
of sickness or of death. Grant that they may be
true to their calling and true always to Thee,

EDITORIALS
A miniature general election took place in T.C.S. a
few weeks ago, the purpose of which was lost by many of
the boys at School. It was hoped that the experience
gained would be valuable in preparing us for the difficulties
and dangers that we will certainly meet in actual elections.
The intention was that boys should form parties, draw up
platforms and campaign on the merits of these platforms.
This is the basic procedure in all elections, but in practice
we observe that it is often the emotional appeal of the
leader which "swings the vote" rather than the quality of
the platform. We no longer find the electorate sufficiently
interested or well enough informed to be able to make the
difficult decisions required before voting. Besides being a
2 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Stigma on our country, this situation, moreover, forbodes
potential disaster in the future. For a people may very
easily elect at the polls a party which does not have the
best interests of the country at heart, simply through not
being capable or alert enough to recognize the danger.
We of T.C.S. were faced with the identical problem to
that faced by the average Canadian at elections, and we
showed ourselves to be just as gullible and unthinking; for
many of us allowed ourselves to be swayed by a purely
emotional appeal while making no attempt to get at the
root of the matter before committing ourselves. Admit-
tedly the elections were held in the spirit of fun, but why
should we choose to make light of the formal elections, a
tradition which is the most sacred heritage of democracy?
For the first time in our lives we were given the oppor-
tunity in a model election to demonstrate our intelligence
and understanding, and many of us showed up badly.
Let us for a moment examine one of the totalitarian
countries in Europe — Germany, for example. In that
nation, the electorate, attracted like children by an ap-
pealing but impossible platform, by party salutes, party
insignias and party membership, and by the emotional
appeal of a fanatical and unscrupulous leader, voted into
power the Nazi Party which is chiefly responsible for the
Second World War. Further examples abound, and they
all point to that one cause, the easily influenced public.
Now, an enlightened population, besides protecting itself
from being deceived, is certain to have good government
since it will insist that the parties they elect carry out the
pledges that they so munificently make at election time.
Let us now examine and analyse the three parties re-
presented in the T.C.S. elections. The "Socialists", who
received the least popular support, had the most thought-
ful and intelligent programme, and their approach to the
election was, without doubt, the most serious. They were
destined to receive very little popular acclaim, however,
firstly because of the serious nature of their platform, and
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3
secondly because they made very little attempt to gain
supporters. The second party, the "Togas", showed the
most imagination and industry in advertising themselves
and, although they acted ludicrously at times, their basic
approach was serious. But the third party, the "Eleu-
tharists", who were the most successful, had an entirely
different outlook. Their appeal, which was certainly well
directed, was solely to the emotions. To do this, the
leaders employed salutes and insignias, which practice we
connect with the totalitarian countries, and their plat-
form, such as it was, was directed almost entirely to-
wards the enticement of more party members. But, so
vigorously did they institute this policy that their followers
got out-of-hand and they found it difficult to exert any
control over them. This, we feel, is the constant danger
faced by the leaders of any party whose appeal is based
on an emotional attraction only, for at any moment the
members may break loose and "run berserk".
The great drawback of the School election was the
lack of all incentive, since the purpose was purely academic,
but as events turned out, the novelty of the scheme obvia-
ted any necessity for it. There are certainly some lessons
we can learn, however, no matter how unsuccessful we
consider the elections to have been. For, under examina-
tion, we discover that the outcome was to a considerable
extent just as it would have been in a real election. And
so we have a wonderful example of the strength of the
emotional appeal and the weakness of a purely intellectual
approach; it is this fact that makes us fear for the future.
It has been maintained again and again that boys in
this School will become the future leaders of Canada. Yet
if we, who are supposed to be intelligent youths, are so
easily attracted by an emotional appeal, how can we expect
the thousands of boys who do not have the same oppor-
tunities of learning to vote with wisdom and understand-
ing? It is up to us to profit by this remarkable and self-
evident example of our own gullibility, and to determine
4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
that in the future we shall endeavour to vote only after we
have given our every consideration to the respective merits
of the parties involved.
— P.C.D.
The School team has won a hockey title for the first
time in its history and we are justly proud of it. We are
now Juvenile Champions of Eastern Ontario and are con-
tinuing into the Provincial semi-finals. Twice before the
School has entered an Ontario League, in 1915 and 1944,
but never have we been so successful.
Some maintain that the First Hockey Team of 1945 is
the best that the School has ever had; others are not so
vehement in their praise. But all agree that the players
have as much fight and drive as any they have ever seen.
Several factors have contributed to the success of the team.
Every boy is determined to do his best at all times and
there is never any easing of the pressure; there are no in-
dividual stars and each man has grown to depend com-
pletely upon his team-mate; a friendship exists between
the players which has developed only after a maximum of
three years of comradeship together at School. Win or
lose in the future, these characteristics will always be
associated with the team, and when, in the years to come,
members of the squad chance to meet each other, they will
immediately be drawn together by pleasant recollections
of a wonderful season of hockey.
We make no apology for the number of pages devoted
to hockey in this issue, since we feel that the successes
achieved by our First Team justify the dedication of this
number to a team we shall all remember.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
CHAPELSiENOTES
Shew Thyself A Man
On Sunday, February 11, the Reverend J. M. Crisali,
Rector of St. John's Church, Port Hope, spoke in the
Chapel at Evensong. Taking Winston Churchill as an ex-
ample, he dwelt at some length on the importance of moral
as_ well as physical courage, and pointed out that not all
those who show great courage in time of battle, danger,
or emergency have the sort of courage to stand up for
truth and Christ against great odds. The latter required,
he said, a different sort of courage, and both types are
necessary in life. Only when we see moral and physical
courage combined can we believe that God made man in
His own image.
Mr. Crisali closed his sermon with the words of King
David to his son Solomon, which are to be found in the
First Book of Kings, chapter two, verse two: "Shew Thy-
self a Man".
The Power of the Holy Spirit
On Sunday, February 18, the Chaplain chose as his
text: "Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost
is come upon you". He pointed out that our world has
been given power far beyond the dreams of previous
generations, but we have used that power toward our own
destruction. How then could we be trusted with more?
6 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Would we use it for good or evil? He stated that the
problem was a very personal one, and that it would be to
the most humble, to the most prepared to receive it, and
to the most willing to be guided by it, that the power of
the Holy Spirit would be given. "He that believeth in Me,
out of him shall flow the spring of living water to make
glad our better world."
Human Characteristics in the Bird
On Sunday, March 4, the Chaplain spoke at Evensong,
his sermon being directed principally towards the younger
members of the School. Taking his text from the second
chapter of Canticles — "The time of the singing of the birds
is come" — he drew a comparison between the various types
of birds and various human characteristics, beginning with
the industrious wren, and working through to the familiar,
friendly sparrow.
The Need for Reform in Canada
On Sunday. March 11. Canon W. W. Judd, Director of
Social Services for the Anglican Church in Canada, spoke
in Chapel concerning the dire need for social reform in this
country. He has had the opportunity of visiting almost
every penitentiary in Canada, and he said that great im-
provement was needed in this sphere, urging that the pre-
sent system be abolished in favour of something along the
British line of re-education for criminals.
Canada, he next remarked, was faced with the con-
troversial question of our citizens of Japanese extraction.
He suggested that they be accorded the full rights and
privileges associated with citizenship, for only in that way,
he felt, would the existing stalemate be overcome.
Turning to the problem of refugees, Canon Judd re-
minded us that England, when in dreadful need in 1940.
opened her doors to many thousands of refugees of every
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 7
nationality. Why then, he asked, does Canada, with its
great, undeveloped resources, close its gates to those who
have lost their homes?
These three problems, the preacher concluded, must be
solved, not only with a view toward common sense, but
also in a manner befitting Christian justice.

NOTES
Shooting Distinction
A short time ago a letter was received from the
District Cadet Officer amiouncing that Trinity College
School had once again placed first in the Dominion in the
Imperial Challenge Shield shoot. It also stated that with
our score of 95.28 we should place high in the Empire.
Last year was the fourth consecutive year that the School
has won the Duke of Devonshire Trophy.
This year's score of 92.873, although not as good as
that of last year, is higher than our score of 91.9 in 1943
when T.C.S. came first in the Empire. Lieutenant Batt
was rewarded for the results of last year with a King's
Silver Medal, not the first of his accumulation by any
means. Vernon and Butterfield ii are to be congratulated
for their scores of 100 in the most recent shoot, for which
they will receive King's Silver Medals.
Mr. Dickson-Kenwin
The School spent an extremely interesting and enter-
taining evening on February 5, when Mr. Dickson-Kenwin
presented a series of dramatic sketches in the Hall. He
devoted the first halt of his programme to portraying
various scenes from Shakespeare and Dickens. The most
notable among these were the death of Cardinal Wolsey
from "King Henry VIII". and Sydney Carton's famous
passage " 'Tis a far better thing that I do now than I have
ever done before."

Mr. Dickson-Ken win's versatility was especially ap-
preciated during the latter part of the programme when
he presented a number of after-dinner speeches which were
delivered at a meeting of the Society for Providing Blankets
and Top-boots for the Natives of the Cannibal Islands. The
honoured guest, the "oily" treasurer, and the pompous
chairman were all portrayed in turn. The performance
closed with some very amusing and realistic sound effects,
among the most remarkable of which were Mr. Dickson-
Kenwin's efforts to catch a fly. We sincerely hope that
he will be back to visit us again.
The programme follows: —
Jacques — ("All the world's a stage") —
from "As You Like It"
Macbeth — ("Is this a dagger which I see before me?") —
from "Macbeth"
Cardinal Wolsey— ("The Death Scene")—
from "King Henry VIH"
Hamlet— ("To be or not to be") from "Hamlet"
Sir John Falstaff from "Many Wives of Wisdom"
Mr. Micawber and Uriah Heep from "David Copperfield"
Scrooge from "A Christmas Carol"
Sydney Carton from "A Tale of Two Cities"
Choir Whole
On Monday, February 5, the members of the Choir,
actors and stagehands in the Christmas entertainment,
and other boys who had performed useful tasks around the
School, were rewarded for their efforts with a whole holi-
day. As might have been expected, the day had been care-
fully planned the evening before, and it was announced at
breakfast that one end of the Head table had challenged
the other in hockey, and that the game would be played
on the town rink during the morning. Most of the School
10 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
trooped down to watch the mad scramble which ensued.
The teams ("Toujours la politesse") were fairly evenly
matched and the final score was close.
Pancake Toss
The annual pancake toss took place as usual this year
on Shrove Tuesday, February 13. This custom, which
originated at Westminster School in England during the
seventeenth century, has been practised at T.C.S. since
1914 when the two schools were affiliated in this tradition.
The eleven contestants, one from each form and Cox i.
a blacksheep representing the Prefects, formed in a line
with their backs to the starter, Mr. Grace. From the very
second the pancake besplattered the gymnasium floor, the
onlookers became one surging, seething mass, at first sway-
ing inward toward the contestants and then reeling back-
wards again to cries of "Hey. you! Stop pushing" and
"C'mon! Give 'em air!" The free-for-all lasted an inter-
minable three minutes after which the final whistle was
blown.
O'Grady of 5B finished first with seventeen ounces
and received the customary five dollars with which to treat
his class at tuck. Cox i, placing second with eleven ounces,
was followed at a respectful distance by brother Bill of 5C
with six ounces. What became of the rest of the putty is
simply a matter of conjecture, but we strongly suspect
Cox i, who, fighting without the benefit of his powerful
lenses, probably at first mistook it for a real pancake.
Mrs. Phoebe Erskine McKeller
The School was greatly honoured on February 23 by
a visit of the celebrated Shakespearian actress, Mrs. Phoebe
Erskine McKeller. Using the dais of the Hall as the stage,
Mrs. McKeller first explained the basis of the plot in "The
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 11
Merchant of Venice", and then very ably acted out the
more important scenes, providing interesting explanations
as she proceeded.
After a short intermission, she returned to gi\e a
similar treatment to "Macbeth". The performances of both
plays were much enjoyed by members of the Jimior and
Senior Schools, and we look forward to a further visit in
the future.
Visit of Dr. Berger
The School was privileged to have as a visitor over
the week-end of February 23-25 Dr. David Berger, formerly
from Poland, now residing in Montreal. Dr. Berger lived
in Krakow until the Nazi invasion of 1939 when he was
forced to leave the country. During his stay he gave a
most interesting and informative talk to the Political
Science Club on the history of Russo-Polish relations, clear-
ing up many wrong impressions and prejudices.
The School enjoyed hearing from Dr. Berger and sin-
cerely hopes that he will pay us another visit.
Visit of Mr. Davidson
On February 27, Mr. W. J. Davidson, Vice-President of
General Motors, gave a talk to the School on the mechani-
cal inventions of the war.
Mr. Davidson himself was in France in 1940, but on
the fall of that country he joined the staff of the British
Purchasing Commission. In the course of his work, he
was sent to North Africa, and on his return furnished
valuable information which led to the development of new
tanks and armoured vehicles. Concerning the invasion of
Europe, he paid tribute to the British invention of the arti-
ficial ports, and revealed that the success of the landings
was largely due to American-made, amphibious vehicles.
In concluding his talk, Mr. Davidson stated that the Allies
12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
now hold a marked superiority over the Germans in the
value of their technical inventions, especially in naval and
air warfare. After his speech, he showed us an official
newsreel depicting the second naval battle of the Philip-
pines. It was a most vivid and intimate picture of an air
sea battle.
We wish to thank Mr. Davidson for his very informa-
tive talk, and we sincerely hope that he will visit us again
at the earliest opportunity.
Half-Holiday
On Thursday, March 8, a half -holiday was declared in
honour of Mrs. Ketchum's birthday. Littleside Hockey
took advantage of the occasion to play their annual House
game.
General Election
On March 8, a general election was held in order to
form a miniature government in the School, which, it was
felt, might stimulate interest in debates on subjects of
national interest, give experience to the boys in the draw-
ing up and criticizing of political platforms, and demon-
strate the problems of voting.
Three parties emerged from a week of hectic cam-
paigning, which included a torch-light parade, massed
meetings and the distribution of leaflets. In the vote, the
"Eleutharists" were elected and this party is currently in
power. The "Togas" represent the Opposition, while the
"Socialists" must wait for their turn to come.
Under the present scheme, every boy has a seat in
parliament, and the party in power, under the leadership
of a three-man cabinet, must undertake to debate its plat-
form successfully against the Opposition. The party that
loses is succeeded by the next most powerful party, and so
the circle continues.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 13
In some respects the election was a success; in others
it was not. It did give the boys an introduction to the
procedure involved, and some of the dangers were most
forcibly demonstrated for those who took the trouble to
observe them. It certainly proved a popular diversion as
can be illustrated by the fact that all but five boys exercised
their franchise.

Machinery and Human Progress
The third debate of the school year was held in Hall
on February 10. The motion before the House read: "Re-
solved that the further development of machinery will be-
come a menace to human well-being". Hope, Wigle and
Ligertwood upheld the affirmative, while Dobell i, Pater-
son i and Pearson i supported the negative. Vernon occu-
pied the speaker's chair, and Mr. Bagley was cajoled into
becoming judge.
Hope initiated proceedings with a cleverly worded
and picturesque, almost satirical, account of the war ma-
chine of the future — a terrifying realization of our most
ghastly dreams.
Dobell countered with innumerable examples of the
beneficial use to which machines have been put in the past,
and questioned the wisdom of retarding their further de-
velopment.
Wigle, second to speak for the affirmative, outlined
the machine's future role in society, and forecast great
waves of unemployment and depression.
Paterson, continuing along Dobell's reasoning, de-
voted himself to the part played by machines in medicine
and agriculture.
Ligertwood deplored the fact that machines are rapid-
ly exhausting our natural resources, and dealt for some
time on industrial accidents.
Pearson i. the last speaker, applied the remarks of his
coUeagues to the future. He pointed out that man's mind
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 15
will increase in intellectual growth in proportion to the
machine's growth, and that as the former has always con-
trolled the latter in the past, there is no reason to doubt
that it will continue to do so.
After a number of speeches from the floor, Mr. Bagiey
arose to pass judgment. He gave the debate to the nega-
tive on the basis of points raised and better delivery. Dobell
and Paterson, he said, contributed more than Hope and
Wigle respectively, while Pearson and Ligertwood spoke
equally well. The House showed itself to be in agreement
with this decision by a substantial majority.

BETHUNE
It is the year 1995. A glittering rocket ship is shoot-
ing through the stratosphere, journeying from Ottawa,
Canada, to Ottawa, Canada. The express purpose for
such a peculiar journey is to add a touch of novelty to the
reunion dinner of the Bethune House, bottom-flat T.C.S.
Old Boys who reigned supreme therein during the school
year 1944-45. As we fade into the picture, a stout, portly
gentleman with a red face, his pudgy fingers hooked into
the pockets of his waistcoat, is rising from the dinner table
to address the gentlemen seated around him. He is Mr.
E. J. M. Huycke, Esq., prosperous Toronto manufacturer
of paddles, bracelets, letter openers, weight reducing ma-
chines, etc. etc.
Mr. Huycke, waiting for the confused babble to die
down, (which it does after ten minutes) begins as follows:
"Gentlemen, (loud boos) it is my very great pleasure to
16 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
welcome you all here (catcalls) Uh-h-h-h what I mean is
that I'm really glad to see you all again — Uh-h-h-h and
it's — well — it's nice to see you." Mr.Huycke sits down in
great confusion midst loud cheers and hangings of the
table, turning a slight purple, but otherwise managing to
appear normal.
He is followed by an extremely well dressed individual
at the other end of the table, who quickly slips a comb
through his hair, adjusts his tie, pats his handkerchief
into place and rises to his feet, pulling out a sheaf of notes
and assembling various dictionaries around him. He is His
Excellency, the Rt. Hon. Mr. P. C. Dobell, B.A., Canadian
representative to the recently discovered South Sea island
of Uwongi. Mr. Dobell, pounding lightly on the table with
a sledge hammer, achieves the required silence and yells
as follows:
"My Friends — The thing is that — ", — at this point the
speaker's hair settles back into its original position of
covering the ears and the back of the neck. Such a
phenomenon not having been seen for fifty years, there is
immediate turmoil and confusion, and Canada's representa-
tive to Uwongi, after pocketing his notes, closing his dic-
tionaries, combing his hair, adjusting his tie and patting
his handkerchief, sits down hurriedly.
The after-dinner speeches continue. Mr. Harry Ches-
ter Tavarorichininy (it is rumoured that he changed his
name), eminent conductor and triangle expert of the
Beavertown, N.W. Territories symphony orchestra, who
has frequently left the table in order to wash his face, now
makes an extremely witty and doubtfully humorous little
speech that is roundly applauded by three gentlemen, Mr.
Phippen, Mr. Greig and Mr. Austin, who assume once more,
upon its conclusion, their former positions of somnambu-
lance under the table. These three gentlemen have only
obtained permission to attend the dinner through the
generosity of the Headmaster of T.C.S., at which institu-
tion they are still striving to pass their Middle School
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 1?
latin. Upon being questioned, they report that they are
progressing favourably.
Next to rise is Mr. H. C. D. Cox, once a fashionable
Bermuda playboy, before that island disappeared into the
ocean, and now editor of "Eskimo Humour", a weekly
periodical designed to relieve the monotony that Eskimoes
undergo during the winter months. Needless to say, the
humour does not have to be of a particularly high order.
Mr. Cox, after making an especially fine speech on the
merits of the West Indian Negroes, bows profusely three
or four times, and resumes his seat, midst a deathly silence,
broken only by the tremendous whirr of the rocket ship's
fifty million pony power motor, invented and perfected by
Sir James Matthews, K.C.B.E., who is attending the dinner.
The silence does not last long. After the effect of
Mr. Cox's sparkling humour has died off, "Scoop" Ed-
monds, roving reporter for the "Stratosphere Daily" re-
sumes once more the pounding of his typewriter in a corner
of the room. Mr. T. McC. Wade continues his rendition
on the Chinese cymbals of "I hate you", present top of the
"Hit and Run Parade" while Colonel-General "Wein"
Warner, head of the American rocket force, accompanies
with a gypsy dance routine. On the other side of the table
we perceive Dr. J. Gordon Gibson, medico extroardinaire,
and perpetrator of the human monster "Gibbonstein".
which is only allowed out of its cell to indulge in friendly
wrestling bouts with its master. This worthy gentleman
seems to be proudly displaying a set of rubber teeth, latest
thing on the tooth market, to a group of sympathetic
admirers.
But hush! Another speech is to be made. Focussing
our glasses, we perceive a tall, well built, young looking
man, for all his age, rapping on his spittoon for silence.
On inquiring we learn that it is the Right Rev. G. P. H.
Vernon, S.O.S., F.A., of the Society for Unintentional
Suicides. There seems to be some agitation on the Rev.'s
part for a scratch suffered by Dr. Gibson when that stal-
IS TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
wart nervously broke his fork in half, but friends quickly
manage to calm him. After a very exciting speech by our
mutual friend on the merits of passing algebra, we awake
once more to find ourselves in the middle of a fast and
furious blackjack game. On our left, George Laing,
"Rusty" Robarts, inventor of the Robarts' sling for pro-
truding abdominal regions, is watching the dealer closely.
This worthy we recognize as F. A. H. Greenwood, Esq.,
President of the St. Catharines' Pee-Wee Tiddleywink's
Association, and a well-known participator in local chain-
smoking contests. On the President's right, smoking a
Turkish cheroot and glancing through back numbers of
Hansard, sits the Hon. Robert Paterson, K.C., leader of the
Toga Party in the Hudson Bay region. Rounding out this
little foursome is "Holly-burr" French, internationally
famous women's stocking designer, who is rumoured to
have insured his legs for 1,000,000 dollars.
And so the evening passes, until the room is thick
with smoke and Mr. James "Stick" McMurrich, the man
behind the new mark IV star corset button, is almost
finished his serial in the "Sunday Morning Hang-Over".
More and more dim shapes slide under the table; fewer and
fewer remain able to pay their dinner fees to Mr. Douglas
Hare, Churchwarden of St. Trinity's. Port Hope, who in
vain endeavours to thrust little white collection envelopes
before their bleary eyes. Soon, all is quiet in the great
ship, speeding from Ottawa, Canada, to Ottawa, Canada,
and the members of the bottom flat Bethune in the year
1944-45 live again the pleasures and fears they enjoyed in
that year, long ago.

BRENT
In most house notes one finds that they are written
by someone violently prejudiced one way or another, but
this year Brent, most of her loyal sons working hard to
achieve glory m various fields of endeavour at T.C.S., has
asked that famous neutral observer Joe Blow, one time old
boy of Trinity, to review the two houses. He did a thorough
job, taking all factors into account, and after much de-
liberation made his reply. Here is his full report: —
"It was hard to compare the qualities of the masters,
but I finally arrived at a conclusion. Brent has the human
adding machine and the rugby, hockey, basketball, swim-
ming and track coach. The man who knows practically
every language, and uses them all on occasion, runs Be-
thune House, and is ably supported by our R.K. technician.
However, in the characters of the boys we find an amazing
difference. Brent House has an unlimited number of genii.
Where else can one find the man who never loses an argu-
ment, the twin boys Roger and George with the common
quality of never missing a trick, and the perpetual cloud
of smoke with a nose on it?
"To develop the argument further we must look
deeper. Psychology is up Allen's alley but no one can
figure out how he lives at night and sleeps all day. There
is the week-end worker Wilson with his running mate Hart
Drew, jumping-jive Rich and Ching Long, proprietor of the
Brent House Laundry, muscle-bound Mike and little Nels
Stewart, successor to the hockey's great, the amateur
photographer. Prof. Stokes, and Gillan who is Brent's Thin
Man. The zoo has representatives with Bugs Bunny, Fish,
and Lamb.
"And so it goes ; everywhere I looked I saw some new
characteristic that appealed to me. Squash or tennis
racquets, paddles or hockey sticks, all found themselves at
home in the able hands of thirty-minute Howard, while
hurdling over all obstacles we find Trinity's new star to re-
20 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
place Alan Ford — Hubie, one-second-to-the-pool-record-Sin-
clair, starring in all sports.
"Marks are nothing to Brent boys as they are fighting
it out in a close race for top, and we find nothing Dinky
in the way they handle the love-life either. Advice is free-
ly dispensed from 102 with John Anthony Davidson giving
it for a nominal fee. The younger generation of Brent
boys finds a bright future for Brent with Magee cup Gum-
ming and genius J. Williamson.
"Thus, I saw a galaxy of stars and was dazzled by
their brilliance. Bethune contained a good bunch of boys
but could not touch this magnificence, and I seem to have
mislaid my summary of them. Anyhow, Brent was ad-
judged to be of superior quality throughout.
"Yours sincerely, Joe Blow.
P.S. — We have been telling you this for years . . . Brent".

WHEN IT RAINS
The rain! It races drop on drop, from top
To bottom of the window frame; but whence
Doth come this fruitful due? From out there, hence,
From up beyond the clouds: where do they stop? —
The heavens, I mean. It almost frightens me
To think of that unending void where all
The weather has its start: the summers, fall,
The winters, spring, are all controlled, we see,
From out the blue — a bureau, far above
The earth. We cannot fathom wonders such
As are concealed up there: could we but touch,
An instant even, the heart of all God's love,
What should we see? — the rain commencing its
Prolonged, yet brief, gyrations down to earth? —
The Angel Gabriel, horn in hand, the dearth
Of entering clearly shown, conducting chits
Within the gates? — the Saints themselves? — what else
We'd see I cannot say. The human brain,
Unable as it is to ascertain
The mysteries outside our orbit, dwells
In darkness . . . See what rain, when running down
A window pane, can do! You n'er have seen?
Then try, when next it rains, just try. The sheen
From off the glass will stimulate a frown,
22 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
You'll think, and then you'll see; you'll form
Your own sweet thoughts, and then you'll see,
Anew, how life is lived: you will foresee
The way to live; you will your life transform.

THE PEARL DIVER
The rough, awkward canoe rolled gently in the calm
ocean just inside the reefs, about a mile from shore. Maiku
raised himself lightly onto the gunwhaies and, filling his
lungs till his diaphragm swelled, tipped himself off balance
and plunged down.
At fifty feet he let himself sink to the bottom, and
ran his brown fingers through the mud and sand of the
ocean floor. The water about him was green and as clear
as crystal. Here, he knew, there was nothing to worry
about. It was too deep for coral snakes, and the sharks
roamed outside the reefs. Apart from the occasional
tempting but spiny and poisonous plant, there was nothing
to look out for. His fingers closed on an oyster. In a
moment he had pried it open with thin, wiry fingers to find
only the flesh of the animal. He released his hold on the
branch of twisted coral and, with plenty of air left, floated
to the surface. He was not disappointed, for he knew that
very seldom did anyone find a pearl of any value inside
the reefs.
Breaking the surface, he lifted himself into the canoe
with his companions, and there, resting in the shade of
the thatched shelter, he allowed his mind to drift back.
He realized that he was poor and had no social standing
amongst the white men of the isles. The only means of
feeding himself and his family was to keep on diving. But
he knew, too, the eventual outcome of his profession. He
had once seen a boy. who. trapped by some giant clam,
and nearly drowning, wheezed his best breaths into lungs
broken by his will to live. He further knew that diving
TRINITY COLl^EGE SCHOOL RECORD 23
to a depth which would crack an impracticed man's ear-
drums eventually made all native divers deaf.
He watched the expressions of the divers as they broke
the surface. Once in a long while one would scramble,
brown and gleaming, over the side and roll a glowing white
pearl from one hand to the other, as the rest would crowd
enviously around him. He had himself been lucky in the
last week, finding quite a large pearl which he had had to
sell to the white men, the only ones who would buy them,
for a ridiculously low price. Inside the reefs the floor of
the ocean was nearly void of treasure. It was sometimes
so stirred up by the many divers that it had to be left to
settle.
A thought preyed upon his mind; no one really knew
what lay outside the reefs. The old men of his island, wise
but penniless, said that there was great danger outside the
reefs along the bottom. Tales were sometimes told — fan-
tastic tales — of friends and relatives who had tried to
fathom the secret depths and had never come back. To
him superstition was a curse, yet he was imaginative
enough to be afraid.
The hot sun turned from yellow to red, floating silently
around the edge of the ocean, as the men lazily followed
their long shadows shoreward. The darkest and most
stormy nights held no sleeplessness for Maiku, but that
night he never stopped tossing. Even when he would doze
off for a minute, his dreams would wake him.
Early in the dawn, almost before the sun had again
returned, a figure slipped past the fringe of leaning palms
that distinguished sea from land, and, with a set purpose,
ran a heavy canoe across the first hundred yards of water
and jumped in. Maiku's thoughts darted quickly from one
thing to another. With five of the greatest pearls, he
could gain enough to last him to the end of his days. He
thought of how foolish he was, chancing his life, but then
he thought of the present and unconsciously worked his
arms more quickly.
24 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL. RECORD
Alighting on one of the reefs or semi-islands, and
tying the canoe, he set about preparing himself. Courage
nearly failed him on glancing at the thin, gleaming length
of steel he had forced himself to bring. He looked back
at the cool green of the island, so tempting in the early
hours. Determined, he swung around and, tying a small
leather sack to his belt, again launched the canoe, this time
towards the open sea.
He paddled till he found himself in the lee of the reefs.
Knowing that the ocean floor here slanted towards the deep
at a steep angle, Maiku dived in one hundred yards from
the reefs to test the depth; he found it was only thirty
feet. The real pearl oysters, he knew, were nearer seventy
feet, so he paddled for another quarter of a mile and rested.
His canoe was rimning in the choppy grey waves, excited
by the cool breeze of the half dawn.
Fear tightened the muscles in his throat, and he jump-
ed to his feet, afraid lest he should be driven from his pur-
pose. Poised for a moment on the bow of the canoe, he
plunged. With lungs filled, he floated down with long,
even strokes. Though slim and narrow of body, Maiku
had a great depth of chest, something acquired by divers
over a period of time. The grey water pressed on him
when he sank past sixty feet, and something seemed to
bum in his brain if he kept his eyes open for too long. The
sickly green ocean floor showed itself when he thought he
wa? too deep to stand the pressure. With smooth, un-
hurried movements he searched the bottom. Time after
time his fingers furtively dropped the black oysters into
the sack at his belt. But the pressure could not be with-
stood for too long; soon the pulses in his ears roared like
breakers in a squall. Turning upward, he thrust against
the bottom, and, opening wide his arms, swept them past
his body, racing for air and life.
Then he saw it. Black, but contrasting strangely with
the grey, he saw the shark. The water sent its image,
blurred and rippled, to his eyes; and he could tell by the
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 25
sudden, vicious gliding movement that it had seen him.
The shark is a coward; there is no animal that is more
easily frightened, or less rightly deserves the title of man-
eater. This shark was curious, and followed. With a
great effort, he drew his legs up to his chest, to press
harder on the water that held him prisoner. A sharp pain
sent a running flash of panic through his brain. On draw-
ing his legs against his chest, he had driven the knife at
his belt through sheath and flesh, an inch into his thigh.
He knew what this would mean. Pressing his thumb
against the wound, he tried to stop the flow, but it drifted
between his fingers and sent the animal, below his strain-
ing body, darting up after him. A few feet below the
surface the blood in his head almost forced his eyelids
closed, but he broke through and sucked into his lungs the
life-giving air.
While racing to the surface, he had judged instinctive-
ly the position of his canoe, but the waves had drifted it
out some fifty feet, and his clawing fingers fell back into
the sea. Many think that in order to bite properly a shark
must turn its belly to the sky. Any islander knows that
a shark, excited by blood, will grasp from any angle the
body of a victim and, with saw-like teeth, cut off his limbs
till his struggles cease. But an islander is also taught how
to avoid the rush of a shark. This man knew that he
could not swim even those fifty feet before the beast
would be on him, so he drew his knife and, turning,
watched.
No fin betrayed its movements, but suddenly the
water heaved close to him. Turning on his back, Maiku
twisted himself under by an all-embracing stroke of his
powerful arms. He felt the soft belly of the animal brush
against his leg; he jabbed the knife upwards. The cold
flesh of the fish fell down the hilt of the dagger across his
hand, and a thin, red stream slipped away from its side to
be threshed into scarlet-flecked foam by the last throes
of its great taU.
26 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
This man, an insignificant native diver, was that day
changed. He no longer had to dive; he could live out his
days in peace. He was the talk of the island all that night,

mire them. Before he went to sleep, Maiku looked at them
again. Even in the dancing half-light of the fires they
still glowed far more brightly than the stars above his

IN MEMORIAM
A piece of wood may mark your grave,
With shells and bullets whistling overhead,
And you who gave your lives the world to save
Have joined the legions of the honoured dead.
And o'er the ground 'neath which you lie.
Soldiers who march to 'venge your death
Cease singing as your grave they now pass by.
And comrades curse the foe beneath their breath.
And you who, from this School, have paid the price
In battles fierce by land or air or sea,
Who made the greatest human sacrifice.
Accept this simple epitaph from me:
"O! rest in peace, you men of valour and of might,
Who died while striving wrongs to right."

BV THE DEPTH OF THE SILENCES
There was not a sound in the upper air. Only the
brilliant, blue vault of Heaven, centred by a fiery, burning
sun, gazed down on the wilderness below. Vast stretches
of forest land, like a hugh green blanket, interspersed here
and there by deep blue patches, joined by ribbons of silver,
were all that lay below the blinding heat rays. Up into
this living silence, for so it seemed, a tiny speck climbed
slowly. Lifted by powerful wings, the bald eagle, sole
denizen of the wild that ever ventured to these forbidden
heights, soon reached the upper air, and turned to gaze
downwards from whence it had so effortlessly climbed.
Only the slight hissing of air through the wing-feathers
served to disturb the tremendous silence. With beady
eyes fixed intently below, the eagle slowly drifted, wheeling
majestically through the heavens.
Far, far below, in one of the deep blue patches that
lay directly under the great bird's gaze, there reigned an-
other silence, as complete as that above. Twenty feet be-
low the surface, gently waving its delicate fins, a huge pike
droused sleepily, digesting the rather heavy meal of pic-
kerel fry that it had just consumed. A yellow-green light
pervaded the water at this depth, encompassing everything
with its sickly luminosity. It was always so at mid-day,
when the rays of the sun were at their strongest and seem-
ed to reach into the very darkest pool, driving the fish be-
fore them. This particular pike was quite content to rest
before the entrance of a pool rather darker than others,
for the soothing, greenish light pleased him. Besides, he
had nothing to fear; there was no fish to compare with
him in the whole lake. He basked in the light and in the
silence, a silence that twenty feet of water pressed into a
deep and brooding stillness.
A little to the north of the particular lake in which
the pike lay basking, and over which the eagle soared, a
great cedar swamp sprawled clumsily. Dark pools of
28 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORp
stagnant water were spaced intermittently between gnarl-
ed, twisted cedar trees which provided small islands of re-
sistance to the clutching fingers of slime and water. Here
and there a lone spruce or jack pine struggled towards the
light, conspicuous by its young, tender bark and straight,
true limbs. Over all filtered a greyish half-light, which
made it difficult to perceive the sultry pools and the
blackened trees.
Through this lonely wilderness, a black bear wandered,
squelching through the mud and dirt, and rudely interrupt-
ing the brooding, heavy silence that clung like some damp
fog. Perhaps driven by age to search for his food in
easier hunting grounds, or seeking some respite from the
noon-day sun, the bear travelled slowly through the trees,
stopping occasionally to lick up some fat grub or to uproot
a busy ants' nest. So he wandered, until quite suddenly
he reached the edge of the quiet lake, and blinked for a
few moments in the sudden glare.
Meanwhile, the great bird of prey above had not been
idle, but was at that very second staring eagerly at the
faint outline of the giant pike, which, many feet below,
was rising lazily to engulf a struggling fly. Without so
much as a beat of its mighty wings, the eagle turned swift-
ly and came hurtling down towards the surface of the
sweltering lake.
It so happened that the morose old bear had blundered,
unsuspectingly, onto a convenient ledge just above the
harmless fly. and having accustomed his eyes to the light,
he, too. was waiting eagerly for the pike to rise to the sur-
face. He tensed himself, ready to come down with a mighty
paw, and so scoop his dinner onto the ledge. Yet before
he could move, a frightening splash echoed over the lake,
and midst a smother of spray the giant bird, unaware of a
deadly foe, endeavoured to lift its burden from the water.
Too late the eagle glimpsed the downward sweep of a
black, furry paw, and too late, uttered a sharp shriek of
dismay. Victor and vanquished were catapulted onto the
TRINITY COLJ^EGE SCHOOL RECORD 29
shore, and there quickly killed by deft blows from that
formidable paw.
The bear licked his chops; never had he had such luck,
nor taken advantage of it so well. He was rather dubious
about the eagle, but the fish looked particularly inviting
and he raised a paw to turn it over. Fate, however, had
raised her time-worn scissors twice already, and was not
now to put them down. From across the lake there came
a sharp crack, quickly followed by another, and with a
momentary look of pain and helplessness, the bear rose up
in anger and then fell dead beside his spoils.
The hunter grinned happily to himself, and patted his
rifle as he paddled swiftly across the quiet water towards
the near shore. It was not for him to consider that the
haunters of the silences had found a silence deeper than
any they had ever known.

A SHORT STORY
David Elliot, who was now seven years old, preferred
to sit under the maple tree in his own back yard than play
with the boys in the park. He had no friends outside his
family, but he had learned to amuse himself in this small
lot behind the house.
At breakfast one morning his father asked him why
he never played with the other boys. As David could give
no answer to this, Mrs. Elliot pointed out that he was still
very small. "No matter," Mr. Elliot replied, "he will have
to make some friends some day; he can't sit under that
tree all his life. David, are you afraid of the boys at the
park?" The boy raised his blue eyes showing a worried
look on his immature face. "No Daddy, I'm not afraid of
them," he said with affected bravery. Mr. Elliot would
have liked to have dropped the subject, but he felt he must
carry out his duty as a father. "I think you should go
over to the park this morning and ask the boys to play
30 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
with you." David made no reply, but a slight anxiety
flitted across his face.
After breakfast the young lad set off for the park.
On arrival he saw a group of boys playing in a corner of
the field. They were trying to walk along the top of a
wire fence, but when they saw him coming they stopped
their game to yell insulting remarks at the newcomer.
"Here comes the baby. He has to stay in his own back
yard all day. He only gets five cents a week and can't
ride a two-wheel bike. I bet you can't even walk along
the top of this fence without falling," one of them said.
David agreed to the wager but in following it out he made
a fool of himself. That night he said nothing to his
parents, and just before he got into bed he knelt down
and asked God to make him big and strong so that the
boys would like him and want to be his friend.
For the next week David tried every way to win their
friendship, but each time he was rebuked for being such
a baby. He had become the dummy for all their practical
jokes. They would ring the door-bell of a nearby house
and then run away, leaving David to take the con-
sequences. One day they tied him to a lamp post and left
him there until a passing gentleman cut him loose.
He took his bullying well, but every night he stayed
awake and wrestled with his problem. It would have been
easy for him to drop the matter and go back to his old
ways again. He realized, however, that his social failure
was partly his own fault ; he had done nothing to earn their
friendship. "If I could only do something great," he
thought to himself one night, "something that they were
afraid to do. I am sure it would help." After much
thought a solution suddenly came to him.
The next morning David did not go to the park, but
headed straight for the church. On the way he met the
other boys who were walking to the old playground. He
told them that he was going to climb to the top of the
church. "Don't be stupid." they said, "you will fall and
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 31
break your neck for sure." "Oh no I won't," replied David,
"you just watch."
Solemnly he approached the wall of the church on
which some tall, green vines were growing. The ascent
was not difficult while he could place his foot on the stems
of the vines, but as he gained in height he found himself
scaling sheer stone. His fingers could barely grip the
fissures and the soles on his shoes seemed to slip easily.
He wondered if he were wise in doing this. However, he
continued to climb up and up until he reached a drain-pipe.
With all the strength of his thin arms he pulled his body
onto the roof. He crawled carefully on all fours over the
smooth slates, never looking back. Finally he reached the
top and clung onto a thin black metal ornament; it was
the steeple.
For the first time, he looked down and saw his com-
rades, like specks, on the sidewalk many feet below. The
boys had never taken their eyes off his heroic ascent. David
now knew that he had proved his worth for he heard a
little cheer rise up from the group below. His knees were
shaking and his body trembled, but for the first time in
his life he was happy.
This happiness faded a little when David remembered
that he must get down. If he let go of the steeple he felt
sure that he would slide down and fall over the edge of the
roof, landing on the ground a twisted, broken bundle. It
was not worth trying, so he clung to the steeple all the
more tightly. Once again he realized how much he was
trembling, and perspiration started to drip from his fore-
head.
An elderly lady had been looking out of her window
and had seen the whole incident. She understood his pre-
dicament and called the fire department to rescue him.
David's problem was solved; and what was more im-
portant, he had found the solution all by himself. Never
again was he obliged to sit alone under the tree in his back
32
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
yard. Every morning he would go and play with his
friends in the park where he was now accepted as one of
them.

A SECONDARY REACTION
Now, before I commence, just a word to the wise —
(That is, those who have never poured acid on flies)
If you are the type that absorbs chemistry,
Then you're wasting your time if you listen to me.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 33
If you make lots of notes and pay strict attention,
Have never been threatened with unlimited detention,
If you read and re-read and thoroughly digest,
And always get ninety or so in a test;
Then don't hearken to this, 'cause you won't understand
The kick that you get when you make something grand
Like an ungodly smell or a blue-green solution
Or, most glorious of all, a huge evolution
Of dark brownish gas that fills up the sink
And, better by far, makes a wonderful stink:
You really don't know the fun to be had
If you let yourself go in the chemistry lab.
It's all very well to sit up quite straight,
Keep your hands in your lap and never be late;
But with all those queer bottles the length of the shelf,
It's more fun to experiment alone, by yourself:
To watch a big fly by degrees decompose
Well, it gives me a thrill that's hard to portray.
Doubtless many of you have felt just that way;
You can bet your last dollar that I wouldn't change,
To completely attend would really seem strange.
But, fun as it is, there's a moral that's sad,
It's true, oh! how true, so give heed to this lad.
If you don't know the diff. 'twixt cuprous and cupric
Your chances are slim for your senior matric.

EDITORIAL
As "The Record" goes to press, the hockey team has
already made a name for itself. A hockey championship
has been brought to the School for the first time in its
history. After sixteen gruelling games the team has
eliminated all opponents to win the Eastern Ontario Cham-
pionship. They are waiting now to play off for the Ontario
title and our wishes are with them for further success.
This is the first time in history that a T.C.S. hockey
team has continued into Provincial play-downs, and the
only time that a championship has been won. From the
games played it appears that the success already achieved
was due almost entirely to team-work, the six boys on the
ice always playing as a unit and never letting up.
The "Record" extends its congratulations to every
man on the team.
The hockey schedule was as follows: —

SCHOOL vs. BOWMANVILLE
At Port Hope, January 30: Won 14-0
In a rather one-sided, raggedly played game the School
chalked up their third consecutive win, defeating a much
weaker Bowmanville squad, 14-0. The game was slow and,
although T.C.S. dominated the play throughout, only in the
early part of the second period did they show the excellent
brand of hockey of which they are capable.
Right from the opening whistle the School hemmed in
a bewildered Bowmanville team. McMurrich opened the
scoring early in the period when he banged Huycke's pass
behind the opposing goalie. T.C.S. continued to press, com-
pletely out-skating and out-playing their rivals yet scoring
only once more during the period, Sinclair being the goal-
getter on a long, low shot from the blue-line. This put the
School on top of a 2-0 count at the end of the period.
Both teams picked up as the second period started and
the game became much faster. Gilbert and Howard gain-
ed two more goals for T.C.S. early in the period, Gilbert
on a scramble in front of the Bowmanville goal and Howard
on a long, hard shot. Several times Bowmanville attempted
to score, but they were stopped every time by the T.C.S.
defence. The School kept up the pressure with McMur-
rich and Dobell scoring within four seconds of each other.
Gilbert scored again with twenty-eight seconds to go.
38 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
giving the School a substantial 7-0 lead as the period
ended.
In the final frame T.C.S. banged home seven more
goals. The Bowmanville team, which had apparently shot
its bolt in the second period, seemed powerless to stop the
School. McMurrich, with two goals, led the attack; Dobell,
Roenisch, Howard, Robarts and Sinclair were the other
School marksmen.
The three stars of the game were Howard, Dobell and
McMurrich.
Bowmanville — Goal, Hooper; defence, Fighe, Strike; centre,
Cowle; wings, Sturroch, Stevens. Alternates: Rundell, Woodward,
Dadson, Hooper, Cornish, Hood.
T.C.S. — Goal, Dawson; defence, Huycke, Howard; centre, Dobell;
wings, McMurrich, Sinclair. Alternates: Roenisch, Gilbert, Robarts,
Davidson, Pearson, Fennell.
SCHOOL vs. PORT HOPE
At Port Hope, February 2: Won 14-1
In their second encounter with Port Hope, the School
came out on top of a 14-1 score. It was their fourth straight
win in which games the team scored forty-nine goals to
nine against it.
The game was very fast in the first two periods, al-
though it slowed down in the final frame. Despite the
score, the Port Hope forwards were a continual threat,
Dawson many times saving the day on spectacular stops.
The School picked up eight goals in the first period, out-
scored their opponents 5-1 in the second and were content
with one tally in the third period.
Roenisch opened the scoring for T.C.S. at 3.09 on a
hard shot on which Naylor, in the Port Hope goal, had no
chance. Less than half a minute later Gilbert scored on a
quick play from Roenisch. The Port Hope defence seemed
powerless to stop the attacking School forwards who had
most of the play during the period. McMurrich scored
two within two minutes, and Sinclair scored two fifty-two
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 39
seconds apart. Several times the Port Hope forwards
attacked but the School defence stopped them every time.
Howard scored for T.C.S. on a long shot almost from
centre and Gilbert scored before the period ended to give
the School an 8-0 lead.
The second period was very fast and a bit rough, with
Fort Hope aggressive at first, but the School again domina-
ting the play during the latter part. Gilbert scored his
third goal a minute after the period began on a pass from
Robarts. Hunt got Port Hope's lone tally on a mix-up
around the School net. Some time later Sinclair banged
home Huycke's rebound, and McMurrich, Roenisch and
Gilbert were the other T.C.S. goal-getters of the period.
Sinclair scored the only goal of the third period at the
two minute mark on a lovely solo play. The remainder of
the period was fairly even though a bit ragged toward the
end. The three stars were Gilbert, Sinclair and Robarts.
Port Hope — Goal, Naylor; defence, Currelly, Lewis; centre,
Hunt; wings, Sidey, S. Dotzko. Alternates: Burley, B. Dotzko,
Ashby, Churchley, Pollard, Mark, Abrams.
T.C.S. — Goal, Dawson; defence, Howard, Huycke; centre, Do-
bell; wings, McMurrich, Sinclair. Alternates: Gilbert, Robarts,
Roenisch, Davidson, Pearson, Fennell.
SCHOOL vs. COBOURG
At Port Hope, February 6: Won 12-S
The School went into their fifth straight victory by
beating Cobourg in an undisputed 12-3 win.
At the beginning of the first period, play was fairly
even, Cobourg many times beating the defence, but un-
able to get one passed Dawson. The score was finally
opened at 16:17 by Roenisch from Gilbert. A minute later
Gilbert slapped the puck through the Cobourg defence and
Roenisch knocked it into the net for his second goal.
The second period opened with a tripping penalty for
Flesch. The School took advantage of the extra man and
scored two more goals. The first was a fast, well placed
40 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
shot by Robarts and the second came from the face-off
when Gilbert stick-handled through the defence and passed
to Roenisch, who scored his third goal of the game. It was
not long before this fast-clicking forward line again went
into action to give T.C.S. its fifth goal in a lovely executed
play by Gilbert from Robarts. Cobourg tried to retaliate
but their poor shooting failed to worry Dawson in the
T.C.S, nets. Dobell banged in Howard's rebound and this
was soon followed by another from McMurrich to Sinclair.
At the end of the period, Cobourg put on a spurt and from
a scramble scored their first goal.
Cobourg opened the last period by scoring two goals
After some good saves by Dawson, Goody managed to get
one into the net; five minutes later Elliot poked one into
the comer. Then our forwards retaliated, and McMurrich
scored from a break-away. Not ten seconds later, Mc-
Murrich scored again from the face-off. During the last
ten minutes of the game, Cobourg had many break-aways
but were unable to fool Dawson who calmly knocked the
puck aside. The School was not satisfied with their nine
goal lead so they banged home three goals in the last four
minutes of play. McMurrich scored the first from Sin-
clair, followed by a long shot of Dobell's which sneaked
into the comer. With one minute left, the combination of
Sinclair and McMurrich came through with the twelfth
goal, Sinclair being the marksman.
Dawson's cool, calm and collected manner in knocking
the Cobourg shots aside made him the outstanding figure
on the ice. Roenisch's three goals and tireless back-check-
ing made him another star. Gilbert also played a good
game for T.C.S. by scoring one goal and four assists. The
outstanding player for Cobourg was Bulger.
Cotxmrg — Goal, Hoselton; defence, Shorey, McMillan; wings,
Goody, Elliot. Alternates: Smith, Jamieson, Bulger, Hogan, Flesch,
Munroe.
T.C.S. — Goal, Dawson; defence, Howard, Huycke; centre, Do-
bell; wings, McMurrich, Sinclair. Alternates: Robarts, Gilbert,
Roenisch, Davidson, Pearson, Fennell.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 4.1
SCHOOL vs. LAKEFIELD
At Port Hope, February 9: Won 11-0
In the first exhibition game of the season, T.C.S.
carried their unbeaten streak to six games, defeating Lake-
field 11-0. Despite the score, the game was fast and even,
Dawson in the T.C.S. nets spoiling many fine Grove
chances.
The play started close, with neither team able to
penetrate decisively into the other's end; Dobell finally
scored at 7:05 minutes on a fast breaking play from Sin-
clair and Howard. The School took advantage of a Lake-
field penalty to drive into Grove territory and carried the
majority of play for the rest of the period. McMurrich
scored the second goal on a close in play from Dobell and
Sinclair. Gilbert made it 3-0 when he beat Reeve on a
break-away fifteen seconds before the period ended.
The second period opened slowly, both teams pressing
hard but unable to score due to the excellent goal tending
of Dawson and Reeve. McMurrich scored the lone second
period goal at 18:57 minutes when he slapped in a rebound
from Howard and Dobell while MacKenzie of Lakefield was
serving a penalty.
Dobell made it 5-0 for the School on a nice play from
McMurrich after two minutes of the third period. Although
the play remained hard and fast, a fighting T.C.S. team
proved too much for the Grove, and once again the Dobell-
McMurrich combination tallied. Lakefield fought back
hard, but agam Dobell slapped it in on a nice play from
McMurrich and Sinclair to make the score 7-0 for the
School. Robarts made it 8-0 when he slipped Pearson's
rebound past Reeve. Dobell again teamed up with Howard
to score his fifth goal, and three seconds later passed it
from the face-off to Sinclair, who scored on a low, hard
shot. McMurrich tallied the final goal on a clever play
from Huycke.
Dawson's fine saves made him the outstanding figure
on the ice and he fully deserved his shut-out. Wilkes and
42 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Harris, with their drive and tricky stick-handling, were
best for Lakefield. Dobell, with five goals and three assists,
was the high-scoring School forward.
Lakefield— Goal, Reeve; defence, Shanley, Roy; centre, Harris;
wings, MacKenzie, Lyle. Alternates: Wilkes, Langmuir, Ker, Smart,
Nurse, Alston.
T.C.S Goal, Dawson; defence, Huycke, Howard; centre, Dobell;
wings, Sinclair, McMurrich. Alternates: Gilbert, Hope, Roenisch,
Robarts, Pearson, Davidson.
SCHOOL vs. PORT HOPE
At Port Hope, February- 13: Won 7-3
In the first of a two game, goals-to-count series with
the Port Hope Ontarios for the O.M.H.A. Juvenile District
Championships, T.C.S. gained a four goal lead, defeating
Port Hope. 7-3. The game was fairly fast throughout,
though at times the very close checking slowed it down. It
was closer than the score indicates with the Port Hope
forwards pressing the T.C.S. defence, yet not showing as
much polish around the net as the School players did.
T.C.S. got off to a slow start and it was not until midway
through the final period that they pulled out in front.
The only goal of the first period was scored by Hope
from a face-off in the Port Hope zone a minute after the
game began. The remainder of the period was fast and
close with both goal-keepers handling many shots fault-
lessly. Although at the first of the period T.C.S. had most
of the play. Port Hope were forcing it near the end.
Howard put the School two up early in the second
period on a beautifully executed solo rush from centre, on
which Naylor in the Port Hope nets had no chance. Sin-
clair made it 3-0 on a well-timed play, banging home
Howard's rebound. Marks scored the first Port Hope
counter when he combined with Billy Dotzko toward the
end of the period.
The furious pace continued in the third period, and.
after only half a minute had elapsed. Hunt scored for Port
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 43
Hope during a scramble in front of the goal-mouth. Port
Hope continued to press, but after five minutes of play
Correlly drew a penalty and Sinclair scored on a play with
McMurrich and Dobell. Taking a pass from Gilbert,
Roenisch got the fifth School score on a long, hard shot.
Marks scored again for Port Hope soon after to keep them
in a threatening position. During a Port Hope power-
attack, McMurrich got a break-away and went in on the
goal alone to score. Howard clinched the game on another
spectacular end-to-end rush, scoring unassisted. In the
closing minutes of the game Dobell was awarded a penalty
shot but it was nicely blocked by Naylor and the final
score remained 7-3.
Howard was the most effective man on the ice. He
played a beautiful rushing game and also a good defensive
one. Despite the score, Naylor was the best for the losers,
many times repulsing the heavy School attack. Roenisch
deserved the third star for the scrappy, close-checking
game he played.
Port Hope — Goal, Naylor; defence, Correlly, S. Dotzko; centre.

SCHOOL vs. U.C.C.
At Oshawa, February 17: Lost 7-5.
T.C.S. suffered their first loss in eight starts, when
Upper Canada defeated them 7-5 at Oshawa. The School
seemed to be hampered by the larger ice surface in the
first two periods, missing many chances, but in the final
frame broke loose and tied the score up, only to be beaten
in the last two minutes.
The first period opened quickly, Upper Canada press-
ing hard and forcmg the play until McDougall opened the
scoring after 2:13 minutes. McMurrich evened it up, how-
44 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
ever, when he and Sinclair broke loose from their own
blue-line. Dobell put the School ahead two minutes later,
beating Harvie with a low, hard shot, on a pass from Mc-
Murrich. The play remained even for a while, but Upper
Canada soon regained the edge and kept it for the re-
mainder of the period. Spence evened the score again,
when he poked Lloyd's pass past Dawson, and although
Upper Canada kept it in the School end, they were unable
to beat Dawson until Denton scored on a break-away one
minute before the end of the period.
Play in the second period was even, both teams skating
hard but missing a lot of chances around the net. The
School had a slight edge at first, but Upper Canada was
pressing hard at the end. Lloyd scored for U.C.C. after
seven minutes of play, and although T.C.S. pressed hard,
they could not get it past Harvie. Lloyd was again the
Upper Canada marksman, when he scored from a scramble
in front of the net to make it 5-2. The remainder of the
period saw Upper Canada breaking fast from their own
end, but unable to get past Huycke and Howard on de-
fence.
McMurrich opened the scoring two minutes after the
start of the third period on a play from Sinclair, while
Spence of U.C.C. was serving a penalty for body-checking,
Davidson made it 5-4 when he took Gilbert's pass at the
blue-line and scored. The School definitely had the edge
in play with Dawson stopping several Upper Canada breaks
and the defence clearing well for the forwards. Time and
again, however, the alert Upper Canada defence proved
too much for the School's break-aways. Robarts tied the
score half-way through the period on a fast-breaking play
from Gilbert. Play remained even until Gossage scored
with two minutes to go. Spence clinched the game for
U.C.C. when he banged home his second goal less than a
minute later to make the final score 7-5 for Upper Canada.
The skating and stick-handling of Davidson and
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 45
Spence marked them as the two outstanding players on
the ice, while Gilbert was the best for the School.
U.O.C. — Goal, Harvie; defence, McDougall, Riddell; centre,

SCHOOL vs. PETERBOROUGH
At Lakefield, February 19: Won 11-9
In a close game with Peterborough, the School eked
out an 11-9 victory to take a two point lead in the home-
and-home play-off series. Not until the final period did
the School move into a four goal lead, which Peterborough
whittled down to two before the end of the game.
Mortimer opened the game with a bang, scoring from
the opening face-off on a lovely solo effort. Gilbert, how-
ever, soon evened it up when he slapped in Roenisch's re-
bound. Play see-sawed back and forth, neither team able
to hold the edge. Sinclair put the School ahead when he
teamed up with Huycke and McMurrich to score from in
close, but Stock evened it up again on a nice shot from the
blue-line. Once again Sinclair put the School up when he
banged the puck in from a scramble, but Peterborough
came right back, Mortimer breaking free from centre.
Sinclair scored his third goal of the period on a nice play
from Dobell and McMurrich, but Wilshaw made it 4-4
when he scored from the comef on an excellent three-man
break.
The second period saw a continuation of the play of
the first, both teams showing nice combination, but neither
able to hold the edge. Gilbert put the School up on a lovely
play from Roenisch and Hope, but again the score was
evened when Stock's hard shot beat Dawson. Sinclair then
scored two quick goals, teaming with McMurrich and Do-
bell respectively, to give T.C.S. the first two-goal lead of
46 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
the game. Thompson, however, narrowed it down to one
when he combined with Harris on a lovely close-in play.
Both teams showed some lovely rushing, Thompson tally-
ing once more, a few seconds before the period's end, to
tie the score again, 7-7.
The School pressed hard from the start of the final
period, and managed to keep the puck in Peterborough
territory for most of the game. Roenisch opened the
scoring on a hard shot, Gilbert and Hope assisting. Gil-
bert added another when he rapped it in from a scramble,
and then teamed up with Hope on the nicest play of the
game to put the School three up. Howard took advantage
of a Peterborough penalty to score on a hard shot from
the blue-line five minutes before the end of the game.
Peterborough fought back, however, and goals by Burley
and Stock, while Gilbert and Mortimer were off for high-
sticking, made the final count 11-9. The line of Hope,
Gilbert and Roenisch was largely responsible for the
School's superiority in the final period.
Mortimer's hard and clever skating made him the out-
standing figure on the ice, while Dobell and Hope were
best for the School.
Peterborough — Goal, Atchison; defence, Padgett, Daley; centre,
Mortimer; wings, Thompson, Harris. Alternates: Burley, Russell,
WiLshaw, Stock.
T.C.S. — Goal, Dawson; defence, Howard, Huycke; centre, Dobell;

SCHOOL vs. PETERBOROUGH
At Port Hope, February 21: Tle<l 8-8.
The School advanced one step further in the O.M.H.A.
Juvenile play-downs by tying Peterborough in their second
game 8-8. Despite the dead-lock, T.C.S. won the group by
previously winning the first. 11-9. The game was very
fast with the forwards on both teams playing exceptionally
well, making many three-man, end-to-end rushes. Both
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 47
teams took advantage of the breaks — seven of the goals
being scored with one team short-handed.
During a thrilling, high-scoring first period both teams
played fast, aggressive hockey; the score was tied 4-4
when the period ended. Mortimer scored for Peterborough
in the first minute of plaj^ during a scramble in front of
the goal-mouth. McMurrich tied it up at 4:01, but Peter-
borough jumped into a two-goal lead on scores by Harris
and Thompson. Howard and Dobell evened up the count
again, scoring within ten seconds of one another. Again
Peterborough took the lead, Mortimer scoring for the
second time, and again the School tied it up, Hope tallying
with three seconds left.
The School went ahead by one goal in the second
period, outscoring Peterborough 3-2. The furious pace
continued and the game became rather rough. Howard
scored for the School on a long shot, but Peterborough re-
gained the lead on goals by Wilshaw and Harris. Twenty
seconds later Roenisch tied it up again. Howard got his
second goal before the period ended to make the score 7-6.
Thompson and Mortimer for Peterborough and Gil-
bert for T.C.S. were the third period marksmen. All the
goals were scored before the seven minute mark, and for
the remainder of the game Peterborough tried in vain to
crack the School defence.
Mortimer was the best man on the ice for Peter-
borough while Dobell and Gilbert starred for the School.
Peterborough — Goal, Atcliison; defence, Padgett, Daley; centre,

SCHOOL vs. PICKERING COLLEGE
At Toronto, February 23: Won 5-3.
The School turned up winner again in an exhibition
48 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
game with Pickering College with the 5-3 score a strong
indication of the closeness of play.
The hockey was sluggish at first, but soon Dobell
opened the scoring in a net scramble, taking a pass from
Sinclair and banging it in. Shortly after, this pair clicked
again, making it 2-0 for the School, Dobell on a long pass
from Sinclair. Pickering threatened several times, but
Dawson professionally kept an empty T.C.S. net.
The teams changed ends and started the second period
with no rest. Pickering opened the scoring with Kemp's
neat goal from Kouduros. Several threats from both teams
followed, and long rushes caused some excitement, but
both teams had strong goalies and defencemen, and both
were held to no further score. From here Pickering drove
hard, controlling the play for a good deal of the period,
yet Dawson again came to the fore and T.C.S. maintained
a one goal lead.
The third period opened speedily, with T.C.S. frequent-
ly threatening to score. Both teams fought madly for the
puck, and the game was fast and indecisive. Finally, to-
wards the end of the period, Gilbert shot Howard's pass,
and made it 3-1. Seventeen seconds later Gilbert scored
again, this time from Roenisch. The play was feverish,
yet seemed to be all T.C.S., for once again the combination
of Dobell and Sinclair was more than a match for Tetrault.
and the score mounted to 5-1 in the School's favour. In
the last minutes of the game, however. Beach raked up an
unassisted one for Pickering, and almost immediately after-
wards Grant scored from Kecup. Kecup looked best for
Pickering, while Dobell and Howard stood out for the
School.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 49
SCHOOL vs. VV^ITBY
At Whitby, February 28: Won 4-3.
In their first play-off game with Whitby, last year's
O.M.H.A. Juvenile Champions, the School gained a one-
goal margin, defeating them 4-3 in a tight, hard-fought
game. Three goals were scored in the first two minutes
of play but, after this opening flurry, the game settled
do'v\Ti to close-checking and fast play with the teams very
evenly matched.
The School jumped mto an early lead in the first
period when McMurrich rapped two quick goals behind the
dazed Whitby goalie. Whitby fought back and a minute
later Kaiser picked up a loose puck in front of the T.C.S.
goal and scored. The remainder of the period saw some
good hockey in which both teams played aggressively.
Kaiser finally scored the equalizer on a nice passing play
with Fleet.
The teams battled without score for almost the entire
second period. The School had the edge on the play and
missed several chances to tally. Whitby, however, played
a steady game on defence and continually threatened; both
goalies kicked out many hard shots during the period,
Dawson being especially brilliant on Whitby break-aways.
McMurrich scored his third goal, and put the School one
up, on a play with Howard and Sinclair late in the period.
Hope made it 4-2 for the School early in the third
period, back-handing Gilbert's pass into the open net.
Whitby fought back and Lowe put them in the fight again
about two minutes later on a lovely shot. The remainder
of the period saw many end-to-end rushes, both teams
fighting hard yet neither being able to score.
Dawson, in goal for the School, played a wonderful
game, many times saving almost certain goals. Lowe was
best for Whitby, playing a rugged game on defence. Sin-
clair for T.C.S. also played well.

SCHOOL vs. WHITBY
At Port Hope, March 2: Lost 5-4.
In an exciting game despite the soft ice, Whitby
Juveniles evened the total goal count with T.C.S. by beat-
ing them 5-4. A ten-minute overtime produced no scoring
by either team.
The School pressed hard from the opening face-off,
but were unable to get it past McEwen in the Whitby nets.
Whitby cleared, and the situation reversed itself, with
T.C.S. on the defensive. Dawson's saves kept the score-
sheets clean, until Gates knocked it in on a scramble. The
School seemed rather tied up, and Moore soon made it 2-0
on a hard shot from the blue-line. Both teams improved
after this and passing, even on the poor ice, was good.
T.C.S. again kept play in the Whitby end but were unable
to score.
Dobell got the School's first goal early in the second
period on a fast breaking play from Huycke and Sinclair
while Gates of Whitby was serving a penalty. T.C.S.
carried most of the play, while Dawson and the fine work
of the defence kept Whitby from scoring until the end of
the period. Gilbert tied the score on a nice shot from
Roenisch, and then Sinclair put the School one up when
Dobell's pass found him free in front of the net. Pascoe,
however, made it 3-3 just before the end of the period
beating Dawson on a close-in shot.
Whitby opened the third period with two goals by
Pascoe and Hooker while Howard and Lowe were off for
roughing. Whitby kept play in the T.C.S. end until Kaiser's
penalty gave the School a chance to press, but they were
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 51
unable to score. Play quickened, both teams realizing the
need for victory, but neither team scored until near the
end, when Gilbert broke away from centre ice and beat
McEwen from close in.
In the ten-minute overtime period, neither team was
able to score. Both played hard although the condition of
the ice prevented any co-ordinated attacks. The School
was awarded a penalty shot, but Gilbert's attempt went
wide of the net. Robart's penalty gave Whitby a chance
to attack, but they were unable to get it past Dawson, and
the final whistle went with the score still 5-4 for Whitby.
Gates of Whitby seemed to be the best of either team,
while Pascoe, with two goals, was their high scorer. Daw-
son was the star for the School, making many fine saves
in the nets.
Whitby — Goal, McEwen; defence, Lowe, MacDonald; centre,

SCHOOL vs, WHITBY
At Oshawa, March 5: Won 6-2.
In their third play-off game with Whitby, the School
eliminated last year's champions, defeating them 6-2. It
was a fast, hard-played game and despite the score, Whit-
by was very aggressive and kept T.C.S. on the defensive
for a good deal of the first and third periods. Whitby
scored the only goal of the first period but a hard-check-
ing School team fought back in the second frame and
rapped home four goals. Whitby again took the initiative
in the final period but excellent defensive work by T.C.S.
held them to one goal. In the final minutes of the game
the School scored twice more to clinch the series.
T.C.S. started fast and for the first five minutes
hemmed in the Whitby team, but good work by McEwen
52 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
in goal kept them from scoring. Gradually Whitby came
to light and later in the period the teams were even, both
playing excellent hockey. The lone goal of the period was
scored by Yuill while the School was short-handed. He
received a pass from Gates and beat Dawson from close in.
A rejuvenated T.C.S. team took the ice in the second
period, out-skating, out-playing and out-checking Whitby
for the entire period. Huycke quickly tied the score when
his long shot deflected off a player into the net. Soon
after, T.C.S. took the lead when Gilbert scored on a pass
from Huycke. The School continued to press and Roenisch
tallied during a scramble around the goal-mouth. The
fourth counter was scored by Dobell, nine seconds before
the end of the period, with the School short-handed. He
raced in fast on a break-away, scoring on a low, hard shot
to the corner.
Whitby put T.C.S. on the defensive for the greater
part of the third period as they fought hard to cut down
the School lead. Pascoe put them back in a threatening
position when he stick-handled through the defence to
score unassisted, but for the remainder of the period the
T.C.S. defence held out, and Whitby fought in vain. In the
final two minutes, with Whitby short-handed, Gilbert
scored unassisted and Sinclair scored on a pass from
Howard to make the final score 6-2.
Gilbert, with two goals, was the spark-plug of the
School forwards while Huycke starred on defence. Pascoe
was the most effective for Whitby.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 53
SCHOOL vs. CAMPBELLFORD
At Campbellford, March 7: Won 8-7.
The School edged out the Campbellford Juveniles at
Campbellford 8-7 in the first of two games to decide the
Eastern Ontario Championship. This was played on the
best ice of the season, and from start to finish was any-
body's game. Shillingham opened the scoring at the five
second mark with a perfect, high shot from outside the
blue-line. Shortly afterwards Howard, on a smooth rush
from his own blue-line, evened it up. A goal by Gilbert
from Hope set the score at 2-1. The remainder of the
period was notable for two brilliant saves by Dawson on
clean break-aways, more rushes by Howard, and the fast
moving play.
Campbellford, pressing hard early in the second period,
set up Pettigrew and Free to net one each, despite the
good goal-tending by Dawson. The play then see-sawed
back and forth for a time, speeding up near the end of the
frame when Gilbert scored from Hope and Roenisch, and
Free notched one for Campbellford.
Trembly's goal in the first minute of the third period,
and Sinclair's from McMurrich shortly afterwards, served
to liven up the game. Two goals by Gilbert, one each by
Hope, Pettigrew and McMurrich, all in quick succession,
put both the crowd and the team in a good fighting mood,
and culminated in the only penalty of the evening when
West went off for boarding. Campbellford rallied in the
last minute of the game, Fife managing to net one while
West was still serving his penalty. The last period was
notable for the lovely unassisted rush and goal by Hope,
and by the consistently good goal- tending by Dawson. The
game ended in an 8-7 victory for the School. Dawson and
Huycke were consistently best for T.C.S., Fife for Camp-
bellford.

SCHOOL vs. CAMPBELLFORD
At Port Hope, March 9: Won 8-4.
The School won the Eastern Ontario Juvenile "B"
Hockey Championship when they defeated Campbellford
8-4, thereby winning the round 16-11. The game was well
played and keenly contested by both teams although poor
ice slowed up the pace. The School went ahead 4-1 in the
first period; both teams scored once in the second period;
and T.C.S. outscored their opponents 3-2 in the final frame.
Campbellford opened the scoring when Fife golfed a
rolling puck into the School net. Sinclair tied it up on a
low, hard shot to the corner. Four minutes later he scored
again on an almost identical shot. The third one for T.C.S.
came on a break-away when Gilbert faked the goalie out
of position and passed to Roenisch who scored on the open
net. McMurrich bagged another for the School during a
T.C.S. ganging attack when Campbellford was short-hand-
ed. The period was very fast and despite the score Camp-
bellford held a good part of the play, lacking polish around
the School net.
The game slowed down in the second period due to the
ice, and neither team could get their plays to click. Free
scored on a good play with Trembly and Shillingham, but
soon after McMurrich tallied on a deflected shot to make
the score 5-2.
Sinclair scored his third goal early in the third period
and for the next ten minutes the play see-sawed back and
forth with neither team able to score. Finally, Hope scored
on a back-handed shot but soon after Fife again countered.
In the final minutes of play both teams scored again, Shil-
lingham for Campbellford and McMurrich for T.C.S. Sin-
clair and Dobell for the School and Fife for Campbellford
were the best on the ice.

MASTERS vs. SENIORS
A much improved team of Trinity College School
Masters avenged their defeat of last year by downing the
Senior boys 9-8 in a hard-fought and exhausting (for the
Masters) game. Showing a classy passing attack on the
forward line and a stalwart defence, the Masters had little
trouble in emerging victorious.
Before the Masters got used to the ice, goals by
Bovaird, Mclntyre and French had put the Seniors in the
lead 3-1, Mr. Hodgetts scoring for the Masters on a solo
rush for which he had been practising all season. Gradually
the Masters became accustomed to their novel environment
and. spurred on by the valiant efforts of the First Team
coach, they whipped ( ?) two shots past Wade, Mr. Gwynne-
Timothy getting the equalizer. The period was ended here
as the Masters obviously required a long respite.
In the second period one team appeared to be using
their hockey sticks as crutches. We believe that the many
body checks handed out by the Common Room men were
merely efforts to rest their tiring bodies on the nearest
objects. The Seniors seemed confused by these spectacular
but illegal checks and the Masters pierced the defence of
Irwin and Cox i without difficulty. Three tallies were made
by Messieurs Key and Gwynne-Timothy. French i and
Butterfield i were the only ones to crack the net-minding
skOl of Mr. Gregoris, leaving the Masters ahead 5-2 at the
end of the second period.
Early in the last period the Masters got their final
point when Mr. Hodgetts doubled his hat trick. The pace
was telling on the older team now, and it was whispered
56
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
that Mr. Gwynne-Timothy got his penalty because he
wanted a rest. This was poor strategy because Butterfield
was able to counter three more times despite the valiant
defensive work of Mr. Bagley. The final whistle blew with
the Seniors pressing hard to tie it up. Final score was 9-8.
It is again rumoured that the Headmaster is planning to
hang up his skates.

MIDDLESIDE
SCHOOL vs. U.C.C.
At U.C.C, February 3: Lost 5-0.
U.C.C. gained the upper hand from the start of the
first period and the School seemed slow to warm up. More-
lock scored the first goal for the College mid-way through
the first period, and McLeod made it two when he slipped
one past Fennell in the T.C.S. goal. The School fought
back hard but lacked finish around the net. Fennell made
several good saves before the period ended.
Ball scored the first goal of the second period, and
then the School seemed to improve their game. Bird and
Macdonald led many threatening rushes, but the U.C.C.
defence rose to the occasion. Fields made it 4-0 for U.C.C.
before the period ended.
The third period saw much closer play and it was not
until the closing minutes that Field scored his second goal.
The score ended 5-0.

SCHOOL vs. LAKEFIELD
At Lakefield, February 7: Won 2-1.
As in the Upper Canada game, T.C.S. seemed to take
a while to get started, and about five minutes after the be-
ginning of the first period Janes scored for the Grove on
a shot which bounced off the skate of a T.C.S. player. Half-
way through the period, however, the School pressed, and
Dobson got some nice shots away from the blue-line.
Two minutes after the beginning of the second period
Macdonald scored a nice goal, and from then on T.C.S. had
the edge, although many chances in front of the goal were
missed.
58 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Just after the beginning of the last period. Bird
scored for the School on a pass from Lawson, and although
Lakefield made several rushes the puck was in their end
for most of the play. There were penalties for both sides
as the Grove tried desperately to score and the School tried
to keep the lead. Our inability to get good shots away was
apparent towards the end of the game, and the score re-
mained at 2-1.

SCHOOL vs, LAKEFIELD
At Port Hope, February 24: Lost 2-1.
Middleside was defeated 2-1 in their clash with Lake-
field in a closely-contested game. In the first five minutes
Shaw of Lakefield received a pass from Duff to score the
first goal of the game. T.C.S. came back, keeping the puck
in the Grove's end, but due to good goal-tending in the
Grove net by Small the score remained at 1-0.
In the second period the play was close and remained
in centre-ice apart from two rushes by Gorden, one of
which resulted in the Grove's second counter. Bird of
T.C.S. got a break-away towards the end of the period but
failed to score. In the third period the School ganged
hard and kept the puck in the Lakefield end for most of
the play. Shortly before the end of the game, Taylor
passed back to Lambert on defence and the latter scored
on a long shot.
The final score was 2-1; Gorden, Preston and Sinclair
starred for the Grove, while Bird and Macdonald played
well for the School.

ice. Bethime winding up on the long end of an 11-7 score.
At the end of the first period the score was tied 3-3;
for Bethune, Lambert, Dobson and Taylor were the scorers,
and Lawson, Bird and Payne tallied for Brent. In the
second period the Bethunites were the lone scorers, with
Campbell, Hawke i and Lambert all getting nice, unassisted
goals.
The final period brought a burst of strength from
Bethune, and but for the very fine work of Curtis in the
Brent goal the score might have been much greater. Bird
scored Brent's first of this period on a long shot, followed
soon by five goals for Bethune, Campbell i with two, Mc-
Donough, Wells and Taylor ii getting the counters. In
the last minutes of the game, when Macdonald was off for
tripping. Brent came from behind to score three lovely
goals. The first came from Lawson on a nice close-in
shot, followed by Bird and Fisher who came in to score
the final goals of the game.
For Bethune, Taylor ii and Dobson were outstanding,
and for Brent, Curtis played well in goal while Bird and
Lawson also shone.

SCHOOL vs. U.C.C.
At Toronto, February 3: Lost 6-3.
Littleside played its return game with Upper Canada
College in Toronto and ended up the losers by a 6-3 count.
The School seemed stronger than in the first game,
making many strong rushes on the College's net. Jarvis
60 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
scored two goals for the School and was the most effective
forward. Wells tallied the other T.C.S. goal and also led
many threatening rushes. Goodbody played well in the
nets, saving several almost sure goals. For Upper Canada,
Wardrop and Bethune were outstanding; Orr played well
in goal.

SCHOOL vs. LAKEFIELD
At Lakefield, February 11: Won 12-2.
In their third game of the season, Littleside over-
whelmed a heavier Lakefield team 12-2 on very soft ice
which slowed up play and made the puck very difficult to
handle.
In the first period, the Wells-Hyde combination
counted for two goals while Rogers and Newcomb each
netted one on passes from French ii and Dobell ii respec-
tively.
Featuring the second period was the team play and
scoring of the School, Wells with two, both on passes from
Gaunt, and Jarvis with two, Rogers assisting each time.
Gordon scored Lakefield's first goal assisted by Jones.
In the final period. Wells counted up his fifth score,
again from Gaunt, gaining also two assists on goals by
Hyde and Newcomb. Lone marksman for the Grove was
Milner from Widderfield.
In this game, Littleside definitely showed their superio-
rity in passing and in agility around the net, although the
home team were often dangerous in the last period. Best
for the losers were Arteaga, Milner, and Widderfield on de-
fence, while Gaunt on defence and the Hyde-Wells-New-
comb line, led by Wells with five goals and two assists,
shone for the School.

LITTLESIDE "B" vs. U.T.S.
At Port Hope, February 10: Lost 8-7
In its fourth game, which was very slow due to soft
ice, Littleside "B" was closely beaten by the score of 8-7.
Dolle, captain of the U.T.S. team, scored the first three
goals of the game. However, at the beginning of the
second period McPherson scored for T.C.S., and from then
on the game was very close. In this period Avery, Procter
and J. Stewart of U.T.S. and Gumming of T.C.S. played
well, the last getting a goal from a long, hard shot
from the right wing. In the third period, U.T.S. got only
one goal, scored by Dolle. Littleside netted four, Brooks.

Although played on slow ice, this game proved very
exciting, Littleside winning 5-4. In the first period Hessin
and Campbell scored two goals for Cobourg. However, in
the second period T.C.S. began to click and, after a third
goal for Cobourg netted by Wilcox, Littleside got three in
quick succession; these were scored by Kingman and Mc-
Pherson. In the third period both teams fought hard, but
Hessin of Cobourg netted his second goal of the game,
making it 4-3. Within the last five minutes McPherson

At Toronto, February 17: Lost 7-4.
Their last game of the season resulted in Littleside
"B" being defeated 7-4 in a return game with U.T.S. It
was an exciting game and T.C.S. was only one goal behind
in the middle of the third period. The first two goals
were scored by Dolle, v/ho played a fine game for U.T.S.
Kingman scored the School's first goal with a back-hand
shot at the end of the first period. U.T.S. scored twice
more on shots by J. Stewart and Dolle, and at the end of
the second period each team scored again, with Kingman
and Dolle being the marksmen. In the third period T.C.S.
got two quick goals by Black and McPherson, and the play
became very close. In the last four minutes, however,

SCHOOL vs. OSHAWA COLLEGIATE
At Port Hope, February 3: Lost 29-26,
The School lost a close, hard-fought, exhibition game
to Oshawa Collegiate, 29-26. Oshawa used a very tight
man-for-man defence and tied up the T.C.S. team most
effectively. It was not until the last few minutes of play
that the School was able to beat this defence, and then it
was too late.
In the first half, the School outscored Oshawa 21-19,
but all their baskets were the result of some very fast set-
shots. Oshawa outplayed the School five by quite a mar-
gin; the School, not being used to their type of defence,
were greatly hampered in attack, and found it very difficult
to untrack themselves and set up any good plays.
The last half featured very close checking and scoring
was kept to a minimum. The School improved consider-
ably, but were very unlucky under Oshawa's basket, miss-
ing many lay-up shots and being outscored 10-5. It was
anybody's game until the final whistle, but Oshawa were
on the ball a little faster than the School and deserved to
win.
Patte and Seeley were outstanding for Oshawa, Patte
sinking six and Seeley making two baskets and a foul shot.
French, Drew and Wade were the best for T.C.S.
Oshawa^— Patte, Roaa, Seeley, Stafford, DeU, Smithers, Heas,

SCHOOL vs. BOWMANVILLE
AT Port Hoi>e, February' 7: Lost 47-83
T.CS. lost the second game of the season by the score
of 47-33, partly due to the tight, man-for-man Bovvman-
ville defence which proved most effective.
The first quarter saw the best basketball of the game.
Both teams were checking hard, although neither were
taking any chances, and the quarter-time score stood at
8-8.
The start of the second period saw Bowmanville run
up a quick eight point lead against the School's second
team, which lead they maintained throughout the period
by means of excellent passing. The half-time score was
28-17 for Bowmanville.
In the second half, the School seemed more puzzled
than ever against the Bowmanville attack. They were
poor under their own basket, and seemed unable to retain
possession of the ball in the Bowmanville end. Bowman-
ville's snappy passing seemed to baffle the School's zone,
and twice Rundle scored from close in centre. The full
time score was 47-33.
Drew and Carhartt were high scorers for T.C.S., with
eight points apiece, while French gathered seven. Clemence
and McHveen were best for the winners, the former scoring
fourteen points.

SCHOOL vs. PETERBOROUGH
At Port Hope, February 9: Lost 40-26
The School lost to the Peterborough basketball team
in their second encounter, 40-26. Although starting fast,
the School had only a one point lead at half-time, and were
completely overwhelmed by the fast passing attack of
Peterborough in the last half.
The first quarter started fast with T.C.S. forcing the
play and outscoring their opponents. Peterborough seem-
ed to be stymied by the School's good defence and only
scored five points, while T.C.S. netted twelve.
Peterborough gradually came to life in the second
quarter, and did more and better checking on the defence.
The tempo of the game increased but the School passes
did not click at all. The score at half time was 18-17.
Usmg short, fast passes, Peterborough began to crack
the T.C.S. defence during the third period, and they held
most of the play. The T.C.S. attack seemed unable to get
started and they were on the short end of a 29-24 score as
the period ended.
In the final quarter Peterborough outscored the School
11-2. The T.C.S. defence was powerless to stop them and
when they got a break-away, poor passing nullified any
attempt to score.
Esthick of Peterborough was high scorer of the game,
netting fourteen points, while Wade was best for T.C.S.
with twelve points. Toole played a good defensive game
for the School, but the outstanding feature of the Peter-
borough squad was their quick, accurate passing.
Peterborough — Lee, Esthick, Thompson, Plunkett, Rooke, Ric-
hardson, Brown, Colbirs, Courtney.
T.C.S. — French, Toole, Drew, Wade, Warner, Llgertwood.
SCHOOL vs. COBOURG
At Cobourg, February 14: Won 56-33
T.C.S. won its group of the C.O.S.S.A. Senior league
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 67
for the second year in a row by defeating Cobourg Col-
legiate, 56-33.
The School out-played Cobourg in the first quarter,
despite the small, unfamiliar floor, and were on top 8-3 at
quarter-time. Play was more even in the second stanza
with the School sinking many set shots from beyond the
key-hole. T.C.S. increased their lead and at half-time the
score was 20-11.
The third period was a repetition of the second, the
School having the edge on the play, and the quarter ended
at 42-29. T.C.S. opened up in the last quarter and carried
the play completely. They missed many chances to score,
but kept Cobourg bottled up in their own end and pre-
vented them from setting up anj^ dangerous attacks. The
final score was 56-33 for the School.
The game was outstanding for the very smart passing
by the School, and they showed great improvement over
their three previous league games. The attack was slow-
ed considerably by the small floor, but they adapted them-
selves quickly and played "heads-up" basketball. Cobourg
was very good under their own basket, checking the School
ver\- closely, but they lacked finesse at the School's end.
Dawe and Anderson were the best for Cobourg while
for the School, Drew and French were both effective on
the forward line, and Toole was good defensively as well as
contributing five baskets to the total.
Cobourg — Anderson, Hoselton, AUender, Dawe, Curtis, McGuire,
Bell, Hume.
T.C.S. — French i, Toole, Wade, Drew, Warner, Carhartt, Hare,

SCHOOL vs. TRENTON R.C.A.F.
At Port Hope, February 15: Lost 34-16
In an exhibition game with the Trenton Fliers, T.C.S.
lost 34-16. Despite the score, the School played a good
game against a much more experienced team.
Play started evenly with close checking by each team,
68 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL PIECORD
and there was no scoring during the first few minutes of
play. The Air Force, however, had more finish around the
basket and led 10-6 at quarter-time.
There were only two baskets scored in a rather slow
second quarter. Although the R.C.A.F. had most of the
play, the T.C.S. defence kept them out and the score was
12-8 at half-time.
Trenton ran wild in the third quarter, scoring four-
teen points. The School were put completely on the de-
fensive during the almost continual attack by the Fliers,
scoring only three baskets.
The final period was even, but fairly slow, with Tren-
ton dominating the play although failing to score. The
final score was 34-16 for the Air Force.
Although only scoring one basket, Zeaton was the best
man on the floor, directing the attack of the R.C.A.F. and
many times breaking up School threats. Wade and French
were best for T.C.S. , while Chote was also good for Tren-
ton, scoring fourteen points.
Trenton — Hoyle, Bundly, McGregor, Chote, Zeaton, F^eailver,
Ingham.
T.CS. — French, Toole, Drew, Wade, Carhartt, Warner.
SCHOOL vs. TRENTON GIRLS
At Port Hope, February 17: Lost 27-18.
In their first and only game of the season, the Senior
T.C.S. female basketball team was defeated by the score
of 27-18 by an older and slightly more experienced Air
Force team. The game was fast and even, and although
the checking was close, neither team seemed to mind.
The first quarter opened with a subdued plop, as Miss
Myrtle Ligertwood's wig fell off on the opening tip-off, but
despite this, the School was able to run up a rather con-
vincing quarter-time lead of 12-4. The second period saw
Trenton bravely fighting for the needed counters, and by
half-time, fully recovered from their initial surprise, they
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 69
had rolled up nine points while the T.C.S. Misses had only-
reached the fourteen mark.
In the second half the Trenton team changed their
tactics slightly. As a result, the dangerous T.C.S. break-
aways ended with Oily and her girls in possession of the
ball. Only a few of the frequent whistles (not all by the
referee) were for fouls. This encouraged Trenton and
spurred on by the unanimous support of the cheering on-
lookers the Trenton team had taken the lead at three-
quarter time by 19-16. The School, now playing without
their wigs, seemed lost without this vital article, and were
able to score only one basket in the last period. The final
score stood at 27-18 for the Trenton ladies.
Trenton — ^Mandell, Kinton, Aldred, Looker, Mcintosh, McGavin.
T.C.S. — Ligertwood, Edmonds, Hare, Hibbard, McDowell, Wis-

SCHOOL vs. PORT HOPE
At T.C.S., February 21: Won 55-52
In the final league game for this group, T.C.S. emerged
victorious in an exciting overtime game, 55-52. Paced by
Drew and Carhartt, with nineteen and fourteen points
respectively, the School came from behind many times dur-
ing the game to tie it up, and surged ahead in the five
minute overtime period to win.
The first period started rather slowly. The School
jumped into an early lead, but were unable to hold it due
to ragged passing and poor guarding under the basket. The
quarter-time score was 10-9 for the School. The second
stanza speeded up considerably, but play was still wild,
neither team showing very good passing; consequently,
the ball went from one team to the other every few seconds.
Port Hope scored several long shots, Currelly and Watson
being the marksmen, while the School drove in under the
basket well, but seemed unable to cover up around their
own. The half-time score was 21-19 for Port Hope.
70 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Trinity opened the second half with four quick baskets,
but then lost their lead. The play continued scrambly,
although it was better than the first half, and at quarter-
time, the score stood tied at 33-33. In the final quarter,
the School showed marked improvement and retained
possession of the ball during most of it. Port Hope was
still deadly on long shots, and were driving in hard under
the School's basket, which was very poorly guarded
throughout the game. At full time, the score was again
tied at 45-45. In a five minute overtime. Trinity showed
excellent combination to score ten points to Port Hope's
seven, making the final score 55-52.
The shooting of Drew and Carhartt stood out for
Trinity, while Watson and Currelly were best for the
losers.

SCHOOL vs. PICKERING
At Toronto, February 23: Lost 27-19
The School lost a hard-fought game to Pickering Col-
lege by a score of 27-19. Pickering out-played us by a
wide margin, but our zone defence prevented them from
getting loose under our basket.
In the first quarter the School was over-anxious and
play was scrambly. At quarter-time the score was tied,
10-10. The second frame produced much better basket-
ball, with Pickering carrying the greater part of the play.
The School checked very well, but at half-time were on
the short end of a 16-12 score.
Pickering began to click in the last half and were well
in control of the game. They sank many set shots and
prevented T.C.S. from making any good breaks or setting
up their attack. The final score was 27-19 for Pickering.
In losing to Pickering, the School played their best
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 71
game of the year. Our zone defence was good and there
was never an uncovered man under the T.C.S. basket. The
Pickering team have been champions of Toronto and dis-
trict for two years in a row, and were very fast in setting
up their zone. The School team deserves much praise for
holding them to such a close score. Richardson, Budgeon
and Lervice were the best for Pickering, and Toole, French
and Wade stood out for the School.
Pickering — Robb, Kent, McDonald, Lervice, Kernahan, Budgeon,

T.C.S. — Wade, Carhartt, Prencli, Edmonds, Hare, Drew, Ligert-

SCHOOL vs. PETERBOROUGH COLLEGIATE

In a fast and hard-fought tussle, T.C.S. took a six
point lead over Peterborough Collegiate in the first game
of the finals of the C.O.S.S.A. Senior group, total baskets
in the home-and-home game to count. Both T.C.S. and
P.C.I, showed effective zone defences and team play was
excellent; but remarkable passing was the game's main
feature. The best basketball came in the last quarter,
both teams fighting with everything they had, T.C.S.
seemed to have the edge and managed to maintain a small
lead until the final whistle.
Hare, Drew with ten baskets, and French and Car-
hartt with four each, were the School's best. For Peter-
borough, Rooke played a strong guard, while Thompson
and Lee stood out as their high scorers.

The School went to Peterborough with a six point lead
and with high hopes of winning the championship. The
game started with fiery play from both teams, the ball
going through many hands. Peterborough opened the
scoring on a foul, and from then on it seemed to be Peter-
borough's game. They led 21-15 at half-time and increased
their total to 44-26 by the end. It was a hard game to
lose but T.C.S. went down fighting gamely. The basket-
ball was ragged, and could by no means compare with that
of the first game.
Richardson of Peterborough, with seven baskets, stood
out as the star of the game; Drew and French were best
for the School.
Peterborough — Richardson, Lee, Thompson, Esthick, Plunkett,

House Game, March 14
Brent won the Bigside Basketball House game this
year by the narrow margin of one point. The final score
was 31-30.
Brent easily carried the play in the first quarter and
outscored Bethune 9-6. The Brent House team was on the
ball very fast and moved around a great deal, leaving the
Bethune boys in their wake. Bethune was outplayed again
in the second quarter and Brent maintained their lead; the
score at half-time stood at 15-12.
In the third quarter Bethune played much better but
were unable to overcome Brent's lead and the margin re-
mained the same, 25-22. The game opened up in the last
quarter and for the first time Bethune carried the play,
but despite their superiority they were careless under
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 73
Brent's basket, whereas Brent missed only a few scoring
possibilities. The final score was Brent 31, Bethune 30.
Brent House is to be congratulated on winning the
game as they were decidedly the "under-dogs". They were
fast to pick up the ball and kept the Bethune lads on the
run most of the game. It looked very much as if Bethune
were suffering from over-confidence, but they did pull out
of it in the last quarter, playing quite well.
For Brent, Drew was outstanding, leading the team
from every position on the floor and sinking eight baskets.
Carhartt also played well, making ten points. For the
losers. Wade was the best, scoring nineteen of his team's
points. Toole played his usual good game at guard and
also made most of Bethune's scoring plays.
Brent — ^Drew, Carhartt, McDowell, Sinclair, Wismer, Bird,

it might have been, but what the team lacked in experience,
they made up in spirit, never giving up. They played four

all were lost, but valuable experience was gained for next
year when many of these boys will be playing on the first

This advantage was retained until near the end of the
first half when the Sea Cadets played slowly towards a
tie. Then, in the second half, T.C.S. jumped ahead again
to win by the fairly wide margin of 44-27. The game

Spring has hit us early this year! At the time of
writing some blind enthusiasts are already talking cricket!
The would-be nudists of the J.S. are already rushing the
season by endeavouring to escape outside with the mini-
mum of suitable clothing and footwear!
Having been bereft of ice somewhat earlier than usual,
the J.S. has turned to basketball during the last few weeks.
Quite a lot of hidden talent has been brought to light and
everybody seems to have enjoyed the games.
The standard of gym. work has been high in the J.S.
this year and the Gym. Competition promises to be a good
one.
There is a very good entry for the Boxing Competi-
tion, and there should be some excellent bouts and very stiff
competition in some of the senior weights.

A number of the J.S. enjoyed a day of spring skiing
at the School Ski Camp recently. The trails in the woods
were very fast and spills were frequent!
Our thanks to Hope and Roenisch for refereeing our
home hockey games and also to Pete Britton for officiating
at the Ridley game. The grand job they all did is much
appreciated.
Our best wishes go with Peter Blake, who is returning
home to England.
THE STORM
So far it had been a quiet night, peaceful and majestic.
There had been no wind and every little sound seemed
magnified tenfold in the silence. Suddenly the wind fresh-
ened and a few drops of rain spattered on the foliage. Then
it was quiet again. Once more the wind came, redoubled
in force, and the rain returned as well. By now the wind
was a powerful gale, whipping through the trees at great
speed and moaning amongst the leaves. The gentle rain
turned into a torrential downpour which obliterated all
vision and beat the grass to a sodden pulp. With the rain
came lightning and thunder. Soon came a splintering
crash and, split asunder, a mighty oak crashed to the
ground. The havoc continued until early morning when a
bright summer dawn brought relief to the ruined land.
— Brinckman, IIAI.
NATURE WINS AGAIN
The blizzard had been raging for the last hour. The
Eskimo struggled on, lashing his team of husky dogs to
make them move faster. The icy snow beat his face till
the blood ran from his cheeks and dribbled from his mouth.
Finally, in desperation, he emptied his load of valuable furs
in an effort to lighten the sleigh. For a while the game
dogs moved faster, but soon they slowed again. The man
78 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
whipped with greater fury, but the gallant animals could
go no faster. The wind was howling like a demon now,
and it was so strong that the man bent double to move
against it. Then, one of the huskies whimpered and col-
lapsed pitifully in the snow. The Eskimo went up to the
dog and, with numb, frost-bitten fingers, unstrapped him
from his harness. He kicked the body aside and struggled
back to the sled. Once more they moved, only this time
at a perceptibly slower pace. Now the team was passing
under an overhanging cliff which groaned ominously. Sud-
denly, a terrific blast of wind shook it and the immense
pile of snow thundered down on the tiny sled. The Eskimo
screamed in terror and tried to run. It was too late. His
body was tossed into the air and flung, like a leaf, a hun-
dred yards away
*****
Far into the night the blizzard raged. At dawn the
chill Arctic sun came up and looked down on the small,
lifeless body of the Eskimo who fought too long against
Nature.

HOCKEY
Captain of Hockey N. F. Thompson
Vice-Captain J. F. D. Boulden
Captain of 2nd. Team R. M. Hogarth
Playing in several matches against strong opposition,
the hockey team this year gave a good account of itself.
It was an extremely well balanced team in which the
players showed excellent team play. This was especially
noticeable in the return game at the Grove, and also
against U.C.C. It is not very often that a hockey season
ends with a team "breaking even" on goals scored for and
against; this year's team scored eighteen goals and had
the same number scored against them.

SCHOOL vs. THE GROVE
At Port Hope, February 3: Lost 6-2
Due to lack of time, it was only possible to play two
periods of this game. In the first period the Grove show-
ed much more aggressive hockey than the School and
scored four goals. The School came back well in the last
period which was a hard-fought one, with both teams
scoring two goals.
Final score: Grove 6, T.C.S. 2.
T.C.S. — Thompson i (Capt.), Boulden, Potter, Moffitt, Thomp-

SCHOOL vs. U.C.C. PREP.
At Port Hope, February 11: Won 8-1.
This game was played under very unfavourable con-
ditions due to a "February thaw". In spite of the wet ice
the School team played its best game of the season, show-
ing excellent team play and a very aggressive spirit. U.C.C.
were undoubtedly handicapped by the bad ice and strange
rink, and did not really show much attack until the last
period in which they held the School scoreless and scored
one goal. T.C.S. scored four goals in each of the first two
periods.
Final score: T.C.S. 8, U.C.C. 1.
T.C.S. — Thompson i (Capt.), Boulden, Wyman i, Moffitt, Potter,
Thompson ii, Panet, Knox i, Ketchum i, Hughes, Rogers, McComiell,

SCHOOL vs. THE GROVE
At Lakefield, February 15: Lost 4-8
Lakefield opened the game very strongly by scoring
two goals in the first five minutes of play. The rest of the
first period was fairly evenly divided, with the School
getting some good opportunities to score which they were
unable to make the most of. In the second period the play
was very close with Lakefield scoring one goal. T.C.S.
staged a good come-back in the last period, scoring three
goals and tieing the score, until about two minutes before
the end of play when the Grove scored the winning goal.
Final score: Grove 4, T.C.S. 3.
T.C.S. — Thompson i, Boulden, Wyman i, Moffit, Potter, Thomp-
son ii, Panet, Knox i, Ketchum i, Rogers, McConnell, Hughes,
Wright (goal).
SCHOOL vs. RIDLEY
At Toronto, March 7. Lost 7-5.
Although both teams had been seriously short of prac-
tice for the ten days preceding this game, both sides show-
ed some very good hockey, and the game was a very hard-
fought one. Slightly superior work by the Ridley goalie
really turned the game in their favour. Final score: Rid-
ley 7, T.C.S. 5.

House Game
Owing to the lack of ice, it was necessary to play a
sudden-death game this year instead of the usual series of
three games. Rigby were more aggressive throughout the
game, although Orchard did press them hard at times.
Rigby scored one goal in each period and Orchard scored
once in the third period. Final score: Rigby 3, Orchard 1.

HONOURS
Flight Lieutenant Bob Keefer ('29-'36) was awarded
the Distinguished Flying Cross for great gallantry in the
performance of his duty while serving with No. 540 Squa-
dron of the Royal Air Force. The citation on which this
award was made reads as follows:
"Flight Lieutenant Keefer has taken part in both
bombing missions and photographic reconnaissances. He
has attacked some of the most heavily defended targets in
Germany. On one occasion during a daylight attack
against Brest, his aircraft was heavily engaged by Ger-
man fighters. By fine airmanship he enabled his gunners
to shoot down a Messerschmitt 109. More recently, this
oflBcer has flown on reconnaissances over most of occupied
Europe and in addition he took part in several low level
sorties to photograph enemy troop movements and flying
bomb sites in the Pas de Calais. Throughout Flight Lieu-
tenant Keefer has shown a high standard of airmanship
and he has never let either adverse weather or enemy
opposition deter him from completing his missions."

OLD BOYS' NOTES— II
ANNUAL DINNER
T.C.S. Old Boys' Association — Toronto Branch, Held at the
Royal York Hotel, February 22, 1945
In spite of some difficulty in finding a large gathering
of Old Boys during wartime, the dinner this year was well
attended; about eighty-five Old Boys were present,
Mr. Ketchum was the first speaker of the evening, and
he reviewed the record of Old Boys on Active Service,
mentioning the distinctions that had been won by so many.
He also outlined what the School was accomplishing this
year, and some of the Old Boys were quite surprised at the
number of boys in attendance. Mr. Ketchum also told
some amusing stories concerning one or two Masters who
have left the School and are now on Active Service. When
he mentioned how many scholarships Arthur Millward had
won at the University of Toronto last June, there was a
great deal of applause.
Dr. Corbett, guest speaker of the evening, gave those
present an idea of the rehabilitation programme that
Canada is to have for her returned men. Dr. Corbett' s
words were of special interest to all Old Boys with sons
on Active Service.
The new slates of officers for the Central Association
and for the Toronto Branch were announced, and Mr. Ket-
chum said a few words of thanks to Lieut. -Col. J. Ewart
Osborne for his splendid work for the Old Boys and the
School during his term of office as President of the Central
Association.
The dinner was adjourned at 10:30 p.m. Those pre-

WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO BE
AN
EXECUTIVE S^ ^
THE job has its points ... a carpeted office,
buzzers to push, business trips (expenses paid),
personal secretaries, dictaphones ....
But while preparing for the upholstered seat
and all that goes with it, get the habit of
organizing your own affairs. Start by balancing
your own personal budget. Spend no more . . .
and preferably less ... than you receive, and
put small savings away faithfully as a "reserve
fund" against future needs. That's smart busi-
ness practice, and good training for anyone no
matter what his future calling may be. Open
your own savings account at our nearest
branch. We welcome it.

on Active Service
O Almighty God, who art wiser than the
children of men and overrulest all things to their
good, hold, we beseech Thee, in Thy keeping all
who have gone forth to battle for our cause,
especially those from this School: watch over
those that are missing: comfort and protect those
in the hands of the enemy. Be with them in the
hour of danger, strengthen them in the hour of
weakness, sustain and comfort them in the hour
of sickness or of death. Grant that they may be
true to their calling and true always to Thee,
and make both them and us to be strong to do our
duty in Thy service, through Jesus Christ our
Lord.

EDITORIALS
We can hear the bells of peace ringing in our ears.
We have fought a long, hard and costly battle, and we
have won; but it has been an upward struggle all the
way. We have ever had to shrug our shoulders at defeat
and start again with renewed vigour to make up our losses.
There have been many moments of great sorrow, of great
tribulation and of great joy. War brings with it the ex-
tremes of passion. Yet none of our losses has been so
great as the recent death of President Roosevelt; nor could
our enemies have gained a greater victory.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a man feared by the
enemy, yet revered by the Allied Nations. In his twelve
years as President of the United States he had made many
friends, shown himself to be a wise and honourable states-
man and a great leader. His name will take its place beside
2 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
those of Washington and Lincoln as one of the great Presi-
dents of the United States.
We cannot but regret his untimely death ; we can, how-
ever, rejoice for two reasons. He died without suffering,
passing away in the full possession of his great faculties.
There was no slackening off of his abilities, no abatement
of his dynamic powers. He worked until the end for his
country and for the world, offering himself, we might even
say, as a sacrifice to the attainment of "peace on earth,
goodwill towards men". And he died with victory in sight
and with peace in the air. All his efforts had not been in
vain and all his hopes had not been without foundation.
Like Moses, he was only to see the "promised land", while
we might benefit of his labours. And with Nelson, when
he was told of victory at Trafalgar, he might murmur,
"Thank God, I have done my duty".

An important proposal was advanced at a recent meet-
ing of the Editors of the Little Big Four magazines. Re-
presentatives from Upper Canada College, Saint Andrew's
College and Trinity College School attended ; unfortunately,
members of Bishop Ridley College were unable to be pre-
sent. The proposal, stemming from a desire to promote
unity amongst the schools, concerned the creation of a
Little Big Four magazine. We feel this suggestion merits
the consideration of Old Boys and present students alike.
It should first be emphasized that the magazine is still
in the discussion stage and that no decisions have been
reached. A tentative constitution has been drawn up, how-
ever, in order to clarify the proposals advanced.
The plan is that this Little Big Four Magazine be pub-
lished once a year, in April, and that the Editorial board
comprise eight members, two from each School, with one
member being elected Acting Editor-in-Chief. The maga-
zine would be divided into four sections, School News, Con-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3
tributions and Photographs, Sports and Miscellaneous. The
last section might contain comparisons of Prefect Systems,
letters from the Headmasters, details on organization of
sports, and other articles which would be not only in-
teresting but of mutual benefit. Each department would
be delegated to one School for preparation.
School News would consist of a synthesis of important
School events, such as Inspections, Prize Givings and
School Dances. Contributions and photographs would be
selected from the best items appearing in the four existing
magazines. This would be an added incentive for boys to
do good work. Sports News would consist almost entirely
of Little Big Four affairs. All Little Big Four games would
be published, the reporting being done bj^ a third School to
ensure impartiality; otherwise, a synthesis of the already
published versions of both Schools would be made. The
Sports Editors would meet annually to choose the All-Star
Football Team, and individual pictures of players might
appear in the magazine. To avoid undue feeling, it was
considered wise to make only brief comment of those sports
not under Little Big Four sponsorship.
It is suggested that the magazine be kept entirely
separate from the individual School magazme. It would,
it is hoped, be entirely self-supporting, relying on a very
small yearly subscription from each boy. If possible, ad-
vertising would be omitted.
Certain objections to such a magazine appear to con-
demn it at first glance; in fact, we immediately ask our-
selves — What purpose will it serve? What interest will it
hold? Its foremost purpose, it seems, would be to increase
Little Big Four unity. We may consider this step ad-
vantageous or we may not. In any case, the four Schools
included under this term are, in our opinion, the largest
and most outstanding private schools in the province.
Their backgrounds are comparable, their aims are the
same, their legacy is similar. It appears possible that such
a magazine could do much to give emphasis to the finest
4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
features of each institution so that the others might bene-
fit from them and, hence, be in a position to give the stu-
dents a better education. A magazine of this nature could
go far in making the Little Big Four Schools even better
known as a body in the province. There is also a feeling,
prevalent in some quarters, that more sports ought to be
on a competitive basis in the Little Big Four. The pro-
posed magazine might be a means of promoting this desire.
In further considering the question, what interest
would the magazine hold? Several arguments suggest
themselves. Some would maintain that all the news would
have appeared earlier in the respective Schools' magazines;
more would feel that the boys of one School would not be
interested in the happenings of the three others. But, in
reviewing the proposed contents, we discover that about
three-fourths of the news would be entirely new, and all of
it would be from a different view-point. Only the literary
section would remain unchanged and none but those articles
of sufficient quality to merit printing would be published.
From observation, it also appears that boys are very in-
terested in the happenings of the other Schools; if this
feeling were fostered by the magazine, which would seem
to be the natural result, a much closer spirit of friendship
might be developed, a spirit which is unfortunately all too
dormant at present.
Since the matter is of considerable importance and one
which ought to arouse much discussion, we should be much
gratified if all our readers holding definite views on the
matter would send us their arguments and opinions. In
closing, we stress again that the magazine is still in the
discussion stage, but we feel that the advantages are such
as to warrant its consideration.

CHAPELIMNOTES
Toward a Brighter Future
On Sunday, March 18, Squadron Leader the Rev. H.
N. Taylor, former T.C.S. Chaplain ('31-'41), and at present
a chaplain in the R.C.A.F., preached the sermon. He re-
minded us that we had reached Passion Sunday, the climax
of Christ's suffering. What a chance padres have, he said,
to view the suffering of war. It is their duty and privilege
to write letters of consolation and to call upon the next of
kin of missing men they have once known; consequently,
they see at first hand a great deal of misery.
But amidst all this terrible suffering we observe ahead
what we hope to be the not-so-distant glimmer of final vic-
tory and a lasting peace. But what, we were asked, will
be the reward of victory? The men in the armed forces
look forward to a rest — a relief from their tasks. But
surely the reward for serving our country will be a greater
capacity to serve! We are waging this dreadful struggle
to prepare for a great destiny, the destiny of mankind,
which is justice, peace and love.
And so, Passiontide will live on until we win the final
battle, the battle over the principles for which our Lord
died. If we are true followers of Him, we will take up
our crosses and follow. Christ breached the line; we must
pour through the gap.
Q TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Confirmation Service
On the evening of Saturday, March 24, His Grace the
Archbishop of Toronto, and Primate of All Canada, the
Most Rev. Derwyn Owen, held the annual Confirmation
Service in the School Chapel. Forty-one boys from the
Senior and Junior Schools received the Laying on of Hands.
Many visitors were present at this most impressive service,
including the parents of a large number of candidates.
In the address, His Grace began by explaining the
purpose of religion. This was, he said, the same as that
of the ligaments which bind the limbs of the body into one
purposeful whole, and of the twine which secures the sheaf
of wheat. In its function, the Archbishop defined religion
as the cultivation of friendship with God, through such
acts as helping a neighbour in his work. "No real educa-
tion is possible without the habitual contemplation of
greatness". This, he felt, is to be found in worship and
prayer.
In conclusion. His Grace was reminded of the epitaph
of a distinguished but humble scholar. Joseph Scriven.
Although he had shown considerable ability as a professor
of literature, he left his native Ireland and accepted posi-
tions as a hired hand on farms in the Rice Lake area. He
often passed the School while visiting Port Hope, but he
never thought to enter it. On his grave are inscribed the
words of his best-known hymn, "O what a friend we have
in Jesus".
The following morning, on Palm Sunday, the con-
firmees celebrated their First Communion.
The order of the Confirmation service was as follows:
Processional Hymn 398 — "Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones"
Introit— "I Lift My Heart to Thee"
Presentation of Candidates
Preface and Scripture Passages
Hymn 646— "Just as I am. Thine Own to Be"

572, "O Jesu, I Have Promised"

The Road to Emmaus
On Sunday, April 15, the Chaplain used as his text the
familiar story of the two Disciples who journeyed with
Christ on the road to Emmaus shortly after our Lord's
resurrection. Although Jesus expounded and explained
the Scriptures to them, the Disciples failed to recognize
Him until He broke the bread and blessed it as they dined
together in the evening. The Chaplain pointed out that
this episode, which may be found in the twenty-fourth
chapter of the Gospel according to St. Luke, not only
illustrates the unpreparedness of the Jews for the return
of Christ, but also describes one of the small acts by which
He manifested Himself to His people and at the same time
proved Himself to be the Living God.
Church Parade
On Sunday, April 22, the Cadet Corps marched to St»
John's Church to take part in the eleven o'clock Matins
service. The Rector, the Rev. J. M. Crisall, preached the
sermon, choosing his text from the tenth verse of the
fourth chapter of Zachariah: "And who shall despise the
day of little things?" After several references to parables
in the New Testament, the Rector applied his text to the
8 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Eighth Victory Loan. He pointed out that although we
are apt to depreciate our own individual contributions, it
is a total of small investments that will go to make up the
gigantic sum that is our goal.
It had been originally planned to join other cadet
corps in the Eighth Victory Loan parade after the service,
but this part of the programme was postponed due to
rainy weather.
Christianity in School
On Sunday, April 29, the Chaplain preached on the
qualities that make T.C.S. the School it is. He explained
that living as we do in such close contact with one another,
we either help or hinder the common aim. In time, we are
forced to realize our obligations and to adopt a spirit of
co-operation. But, continued the Chaplain, we are com-
manded to "Love the Lord thy God". To carry out this
order, we must strive for all the better elements in life,
such as truth and beauty. That is why, at T.C.S. , we make
a special effort to absorb the teachings of ancient civiliza-
tions and to develop a sense of perspective. But it is im-
perative also that we round out our characters by growing
in the knowledge of Christ's teachings and in the ability
to worship as we should. Combine these qualities with
Christian fellowship and we discover that ours is no ordi-
nary opportunity, ours no ordinary School.
Words Enforced Through Action
On Sunday, May 12. the School welcomed back the
Rev. Eyre Dann. Chaplain at T.C.S. from September, 1942,
to June, 1944. Beginning his sermon with a reference to
the Service of Thanksgiving for Victory in Europe, which
had been held in the morning, he went on to show how it
differed from the story of the ten lepers healed by Christ.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 9
Of the latter, only one returned to give thanks while the
others, although grateful, just could not be bothered.
We were reminded that words alone are insufficient,
that words must be proven through action. Mr. Dann
stressed that the noblest action of which one is capable is
to devote oneself to the service of God, and that there is
no higher calling than that of the Ministry.
The Realities of Life
On Sunday, May 20, Dr. H. C. Griffith, Headmaster of
Bishop Ridley College, spoke at Evensong, selecting as his
text: "Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, de-
ceiving yourselves". This, he explained, meant that we
should be men of action and reality.
He then reviewed some of the realities of life, the first
being that of the Church, the only sane solution to such
universal ills as distrust, selfishness and cruelty. He ask-
ed us to compare Christian actions with Christian teach-
ings and to examine the reality of our own Christianity.
The second reality, that of duty, is the one most likely
to be overlooked or ignored, for it is all too easy to argue
ourselves out of it. But a sense of duty is an absolute
requisite of our daily lives if we are to maintain our self-
respect.
As the third reality. Dr. Griffith chose truth, because,
since "Only righteousness exalts a nation", we must be
honest in both public and private life.
The fourth reality, of which we are reminded by the
Memorial Cross, is the reality of sacrifice, particularly of
our Old Boys and of others who have regarded their coun-
try above all else. Dr. Griffith closed with the poem by
Sir Cecil Spring Rice "I vow to thee my country", and re-
minded us of the challenge extended to us by our Old Boys
that we follow their examples of patriotism and Christian
sacrifice.

Half Holiday
On Thursday, March 15, the School celebrated a half-
holiday in honour of the birth of a daughter to Flight-
Lieutenant and Mrs. D. H.("Stal") Armstrong ('29-'37)—
and Mrs. Wilkin's first grandchild.
F/L Armstrong was assistant gym. instructor at
T.C.S. from 1938 to 1940, when he left us to join the R.C.
A.F.
The School extends its heartiest congratulations to
both parents and grandmother, and we sincerely hope that
F/L and Mrs. Armstrong will visit us in the near future.
Return of Mr. Wilson
The Cricket Team has been fortunate in having with
them again, after an absence of four years, Mr. John Wil-
son, late of the Royal Canadian Air Force and a veteran
of twenty-eight flights over Germany.
Mr. Wilson is certainly one of the better cricketers of
Canada, and under his able guidance we are approaching
the end of a successful season.
Red Cross Collection
Once again, the School has made its contribution to
the annual Red Cross campaign. Since it was felt that
last year's drive was a trifle overly successful, thereby re-
stricting the size of the School's donations to other charit-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD H
able organizations, the objective this time was lowered to
five hundred dollars. The final results reached a total of
$569.50, being distributed throughout the School as fol-
lows: Bethune House $187.80, Brent House $157.00, Junior
School $127.00, Staff $103.70.
THE SCHOOL DANCE
"Gibson, will you tell me the name of the solution,
please".
"I beg your pardon, Pat — Oh, I'm sorry, sir! The
name? Oh yes, the name "Parvenir", isn't it, sir?"
"Ye gods, boys, will you wake up! Davidson, the name
of the solution?"
"U-h-h-h — well, sir, it's like this. You take the test
tube in one hand (RA-6082, RA-6082, RA-6082) and you
magnetize the heat rays (66 Inglewood Drive, 66 Inglewood
Drive) until Lloyd George calls his election (gee, she
should have written by now!). Did you say something,
sir?"
Yes, the School Dance has again left its mark (I knew
we should have had our pictures taken), and that mark
seems to vary through the years in proportion to the suc-
cess of the dance. Perhaps that explains the deepness (I
wonder if she wants me to write back?) of the mark this
year, for a couple of days around the middle of April went
just about as perfectly as any two days will go around
during the middle of April (or around the middle of any-
thing else, for that matter). In other words the dance
was a real success in spite of premature misgivings as to
attendance (Oh, for Pete's sake, Pearson, stop worrying;
you're supposed to be writmg up the dance!)
About sixty girls rolled into town on the afternoon of
the ninth and were duly escorted up to the J.S. and given
a bed therein, while the loyal males heaved up boxes, suit-
cases, dunnage bags and anything else that the fair damsels
had conveniently brought along.
12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
Anjrway, whatever was inside said baggage seemed to
help considerably, for at nine o'clock, sixty radiant-looking
females tripped daintily out to their respective partners,
which worthies were impatiently digging up the turf in the
lawn outside, and gracefully offered their arms. From
then on, festivities progressed in a truly gay fashion. The
music was good, the decorations colourful, the atmosphere
happy, the conversation enjoyable, and, in fact, everyone
was thoroughly content. (Remember fellahs, I'm speak-
ing for the majority.
The weather on Tuesday, brought on by many fervent
prayers, was the best it could have been. Farmers stared
in alarm as they watched not only College boys besport-
ing themselves around the barns, but also what looked like
College girls! The beauties of the dam, the lake, various
creeks and in fact all that is beautiful around Port Hope
(O.K., O.K., but a lot of them hadn't been here before, you
know!) were duly admired and dazed upon.
Tuesday afternoon witnessed a tea dance in the Hall
that seemed to satisfy everyone concerned. At least you
couldn't walk all over her dress! (Well, I mean, — oh,
figure it out for yourself!) The objects of all our affec-
tions finally departed on the 8.10 train, and curiously
enough, against all customary procedure and etiquette,
three enterprising young men managed to unconsciously
depart with them! Instinct triumphed in the majority of
cases, however, and for a few seconds one might have com-
pared the scene at the station to a beehive immediately
after being punctured by a well-aimed missile. Talk about
the evacuation of Dunkirk!
And so, once more, another School Dance is written
off. From beginning to end it was worth every minute
spent preparing for it. In the latter connection we have
especially to thank Mr. and Mrs. Ketchum, Mrs. Wilkin and
her Staff, Mr. and Mrs. Tottenham, Mrs. Crowe, Mrs.
Gwynne-Timothy, and all connected with the decorating,
amongst whom Mr. Key, Stratford, Wigle. Ligertwood and
TRINITY CX)LLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 13
Stokes stood out. We thought the decorations, centering
in the Hall around drawings of decorations won by Old
Boys, and in the Cocoa-Room around "Dante's Inferno",
more than usually worthy of praise this year. While we
are in such a benevolent mood, let's show our appreciation
by thanking the girls for coming. They sort of help to
brighten up a dance, don't you think?
Architecture As A Future Career
On Friday night, May 4, about forty members of the
Senior School gathered in the Carnegie Room to hear a
lecture by Mr. Anthony Adamson of the School of Archi-
tecture, University of Toronto. Mr. Adamson, who specia-
lizes in town planning, outlined the nature of an architect's
work, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. Archi-
tecture, he said, is a highly skilled profession and requires
five years of training at a recognized school, for entry to
which mathematics, a faculty for organization, and an
artistic sense are vital. On graduation, the architect is
usually employed at a salary until he enters a practicing
partnership. After the war, opportunities for architects
should be very numerous, since Canada is now short of a
million houses.
At the conclusion of his address, Mr. Adamson answer-
ed a number of questions concerning the possible location
of the new Chapel, the trend towards modem design, and
the possibilities of the newly developed materials. To
illustrate the work of architecture students, he displayed a
very interesting collection of blueprints, placards, and
sketches. We are indebted to Mr. Adamson for an agree-
able and instructive evening.
14 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
V-E Day
On Monday, May 7, the visit of Major and Mrs. H. E.
Irwin ('26-'31) was in the process of being honoured by a
half-holiday when, at 3 p.m., the tower-bell summoned the
School to the grass tennis courts. The Headmaster then
announced that the war in Europe had come to an end, and
outlined the schedule to be followed during the remainder
of that day and Tuesday. Huycke's proposal that three
cheers be given for the soldiers, sailors and airmen of the
Allied Nations, who had accomplished the long-awaited
event, was readily approved by the assembled School, which
then returned to games. A short Chapel service was held
in the evening, followed by town leave. For two hours the
Senior School celebrated victory in the streets of Port
Hope, waving flags and marching behind the citizens' band,
led by the Mayor and the Chief of Police. The evening
closed around a great bonfire in the old orchard.
Tuesday, May 8, officially V-E Day and a whole holi-
day, began with a parade of the Cadet Corps to the Thanks-
giving Service in the Town Hall Park. After lunch, the
School carried on as usual, and in the evening an Amateur
Hour took place in the Hall.
Amateur Hour
On Tuesday, May 8, the night of V-E day, an Amateur
Hour was held m the Hall, Mr. Morris directing. The
evening started with three competing pianists — Prower.
Anderson and Wade — all voted equally entertaining by the
School. The next item was a recitation by Mr. Scott which
was greatly enjoyed by those present, especially as it en-
couraged Mr. Molson to give us a rendition at the piano.
This was followed by Pangman with "The Battle of Hast-
ings" and "Albert and the Lion", and by Mr. Morris with
some amusing stanzas on primary education. The dance
band then proceeded to some rather lively numbers and
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 15
finally gave way to Mr. Snelgrove's Pinafore Chorus. With
Mr. Bagley singing the solos, the Chorus exposed them-
selves for the first time to the favourable criticism — and
even assistance — of the audience. Last on the programme
came Hope, Wade, and a rather indefinable group of musi-
cians and singers, who brought to a close an extremely en-
joyable evening.
INSPECTION DAY
Despite the fact that it rained heavily during the
morning of May 12, the day set for the Inspection cere-
monies, it had cleared sufficiently by 2 p.m. so that it was
possible to hold the parade. The officer taking the salute
was Colonel the Hon. Colin Gibson, M.C., Minister of Na-
tional Defence for Air, assisted by Air Vice-Marshal W. A.
Curtis, C.B., D.S.C. & Bar and Air Vice-Marshal N. R.
Anderson, C.B. Also included among the inspecting party
were Colonel F. G. Malloch, M.C., V.D., Colonel A. T. Pater-
son, D.S.O. & Bar, O.B.E., E.D., Commander H. R. Wade,
R.C.N.V.R., and Major T. C. Holmes, District Cadet Officer.
Military studies were first on the programme, and one
by, one Signals, Map Reading, First Aid, Knots and Lashes,
Aircraft Recognition, the Swift Training Rifle, the Bren
Light-Machine Gun, and the H.E. 36 Hand Grenade classes
were visited by Major Holmes, who later in the day ex-
pressed his satisfaction at the progress which had been
made in all divisions.
Due to the downpour, it was decided to reverse the
usual procedure and hold the Annual Gymnasium Exhibi-
tion before lunch. The First Gym. Eight began by de-
monstrating their abilities on the horizontal bar by means
of a series of astonishing gyrations. But their skill was
fully matched by that of the Gym. Twelve on the parallel
bars, who executed a number of very difficult exercises
seldom seen at the School. They were followed by the
Junior School, to whose lot fell brain stimulating games.
16 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
wall bars and beams and club swinging, and then by the
Senior School horse team and P.T. classes.
After the Gym. Show the Headmaster introduced the
members of the inspecting party to the visitors and the
assembled School, and then asked Colonel Gibson to say
a few words. The Air Minister expressed the great plea-
sure he felt in being able to inspect the Cadet Corps, and
went on to tell how Captain Batt had been his Sergeant-
Major during the last Great War and how they had later
met again at R.M.C. The Gym. Show, he felt, was better
balanced this year than those of former years which he
had attended, and he extended his congratulations to the
School upon their winning the Imperial Challenge Shield m
shooting. After noting that T.C.S. was the first cadet
corps in the Empire to be affiliated with an Air Force,
Colonel Gibson pointed out that the R.C.A.F. has a record
to be proud of, a record which includes the award of the
Victoria Cross to a Coastal Command pilot serving off Ice-
land. But, the speaker acknowledged, none has a greater
right to speak of records than this School, with such a
large proportion of its Old Boys on active service. In con-
clusion, the Minister petitioned the Headmaster for a
whole-holiday to commemorate the occasion.
After a very sumptuous buffet luncheon in the Hall,
for which Mrs. Wilkin deserves much credit since many
more guests were present than had been anticipated, the
Cadet Corps marched out for ceremonial drill. This was
completed in due order and evidently much to the satisfac-
tion of the spectators. The Corps then broke ranks and
fell in again in preparation for the Inter-House Competi-
tion. Bethune House was the first to be put through its
paces and Brent followed shortly thereafter. Both Houses,
it was felt, did extraordinarily well considering the state
of the campus and the verj' poor weather in which they
had been forced to practise during the preceding two weeks.
The drill having ended, the Cadet Corps and the visit-
ing officers were photographed. The Headmaster then in-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 17
troduced Major Holmes, who was to pass verdict on the
performances of the Houses and comment on the year's
cadet trainmg. The District Cadet Officer was very gen-
erous in his praise of the work done and the co-operation
shown him by T.C.S. during his years of association with
the School, and regretted the fact that he would no longer
have occasion to be present at the annual Inspections since
he had already accepted a new post. Major Holmes an-
nounced that he had this year decided in favour of Bethune
House and added that, while the Competition had been ex-
tremely close, he had noticed three minor errors in the
Brent House ranks.
The final event of the day was the presentation by
Colonel Gibson to the T.C.S. Cadet Corps of the King
George V Cup, awarded to the Dominion of Canada foi'
the highest aggregate, and held by the Cadet Corps with
the highest aggregate in Canada. Also presented was the
Duke of Devonshire Trophy for the best Cadet Corps in
Canada in Youth of the Empire Shooting Matches.
Visit of Dr. Griffith
The School was honoured over the week-end of May
19-20 by having as a guest the distinguished Headmaster
of Bishop Ridley College, Dr. H. C. Griffith, who, on Satur-
day evening, was kind enough to give a short talk on the
subject of athletics.
Having first of all dwelt briefly with sport in general,
Dr. Griffith went on to speak more specifically about the
game of football, in which he has come to be recognized as
the foremost schoolboy coach in Canada. He outlined the
history of football through all its varying stages of de-
velopment, and related several interesting anecdotes con-
cerning the causes for the adoption of new rules of play.
The speaker finished by giving us a few hints about Rid-
ley's successes and asserting that a team's greatest advan-
Ig TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
tages are not trick plays, but the fundamentals of good
kicking, passing, tackling, blocking and catching.
The following day, Dr. Griffith delivered the sermon
at the Evensong service.
To honour the memory of the late President of the
United States, the School observed two minutes' silence on
April 14.

Peacetime Military Training
On April 27, the School acted as host to a debating
team from the University of Toronto Schools. The motion
was: "Resolved that there should be instituted a year of
compulsory military training for all physically fit Canadian
males on reaching the age of eighteen". The affirmative
was upheld by T.C.S.
Dobell i opened the debate by pointing out that one
quarter of all army recruits have been found medically un-
fit, and suggested that peacetime conscription would raise
health standards. After assuring the House that universal
training would lead to no discrimination in later oppor-
tunities, he emphasized the broadening influences of disci-
pline, fellowship and vocational training as found in the
services.
Ritche, for the negative, stated that after losing a
year of school, veterans seldom return to their studies.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 19
After explaining how army life and discipline grossly dis-
tort the viewpoint, he attacked the age of eighteen as ill-
chosen and suggested that the incidental advantages of
army life might be gained in the schools.
Paterson i, in support of the motion, emphasized the
need for Canada to take her place alongside the "Big Five"
and to maintain a defence force compatible with this posi-
tion. Of small cost, this force might also be of use in
national emergencies, and the trainees would become more
tolerant through service in other provinces. At the con-
clusion of his speech Paterson executed an excellent dove-
tailing of two points, for the whole of which he lacked
sufficient time.
Horan, of the opposition, illustrated the failure of mili-
tary training to provide security in France and Italy, and
dwelt on the relative unimportance of any Canadian con-
tribution. He maintained that the cost of this enterprise
would be high, and asserted that Canada's geographical
position was a sufficient safeguard against aggression. He
concluded by adding that, in any case, Quebec would block
the introduction of the necessary legislation.
Pearson i of T.C.S. refuted several points of the nega-
tive before beginning his speech proper. In this address
he urged Canada to lead the Middle Powers by making her
contribution to an international army which, he said, would
not be a national shield but a world necessity.
Clarke of U.T.S. delivered the most telling speech of
the evening. He recommended the adoption of a small but
modem defence force in place of a vast conscript army
which would soon need retraining. He then asked whether
it was intended to ship trainees around Canada on a Cook's
Tour, and indicated the chaotic bureaucracy to which the
system would lead. Moreover, it would be necessary for
medical reasons to excuse thirty per cent of the eighteen-
year-olds, which would lead to widespread evasion and dis-
unity. He felt also that conscription was contrary to the
principles of democracy since it stamped out individualism.
20 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
In his rebuttal, Dobell pointed out that the difficulties
of imposing conscription did not enter into the debate, and
said that he thought the trainees could look after them-
selves. Military service, he maintained, has been shunned
in democracies because the people were entitled to mani-
fest their basically sellBsh natures.
After a number of speeches from the floor, Mr. Bagley
informed the chairman that in the opinion of the judges,
the affirmative had won the debate by an extremely narrow
margin.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHIES
AUSTIN, J. B.— Since the Fall of '41 until this Easter
there has been no silence or shortage of laughs in Be-
thune, for in that year "Bun" first was able to jimmy
open the doors of T.C.S. John was one of those boys
who leaves no official record of his activities, but there
are few who will ever forget him. His eloquent and
choice use of the English language has never been
equalled in the annals of T.C.S. history and his "subtle"
wit and charming recitations were worth travelling
around the world to hear. Bunny played soccer occa-
sionally, for a while looked into the game of basketball,
ran for Bethune in the Oxford Cup, and even went to
far as to take a hand at cricket. All these attempts,
however, only convinced him the more that his most
evident ability lay in "sporting" a pipe, and in the
"Smoker" he was one of that institution's most revered
members. As a scholar, Bunny was no Einstein, but
he was nevertheless a most popular boy, even with the
Masters. (We mean it). For his considerable contri-
bution to School life and his outstanding ability to make
people laugh, he was made a Senior last term. But was
a great guy, and we hope he will always remember to
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 21
visit the host of friends he left behind him at T.C.S. He's
in the Army now and we wish him all the luck in the
world.
GILLAN, C. A. W.— "Slim" arrived in the fall of '42, and
two days later was firmly ensconced in the "Smoker",
from which he emerged only on two occasions. One was
in the fall of '43, when he starred as an inside on Middle-
side, and the other was exactly one year later, during
the fall of '44, when he became one of the best linemen
on the First Football Team. The rest of the year he
spent in relative obscurity, playing bridge, at which he
was known to get down as much as 1,600 points on a
single hand, and studying, at which he was known to get
75% ! One of the most popular members of the School,
"Slim" was also one of the most modest, and was rarely
without a smile. Off to the Army at Easter, we trust
he will find a thriving fox-farm awaiting him at Pa ken-
ham on his return from "the wars".
GRIEG, J. G.— In the fall of 1940, a quiet, dark, new boy
from Windsor was one of the many who entered T.C.S.
for the first time. In the spring of '45 he was one of
the few that left us, but not quite as unobstrusively as
he had arrived. Although "B.J." 's first few years were
occupied mainly in concocting new schemes (at which he
excelled) for avoiding work of any kind, he seldom miss-
ed a trick, and was rarely without a smile. Although
never aspiring to great heights as a scholar, he was an
excellent athlete. He played on both Littleside and Mid-
dleside football teams and spent two seasons on Bigside,
as well as being a first class track man. An ardent mem-
ber of the Smoker, he managed to spend most of every
winter term imbibing its atmosphere. A House Officer
when he left us at Easter to join the Navy, "B.J." 's
22 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
somewhat raucous laugh and air of hearty good fellow-
ship will be missed by all, and we wish him the best of
luck.
HARE, D. S. — Doug came to the School in September,
1942, from U.T.S., and settled down in Bethune's illus-
trious middle dormitory as England's lone representa-
tive. He was a member of the great VA2 form of that
year, but distinguished himself more on the Middleside
Soccer field and on the Junior Basketball team. By the
end of his second year he had joined the honoured ranks
of the Bigside sacristans; he annually represented his
house in the Chess tournament, and did yeoman service
in the Used Book Room. Doug's real gift was revealed
on the stage, where on three stirring occasions he played
the part of 'une belle femme'. His bearing, actions and
speech were remarkably feminine, and it is rumoured he
learned it all from his sister. (Yes, we said his sister!)
With his true English modesty he was not one to call
attention to himself or his many accomplishments. How-
ever, his perseverance and dependability were crowned
with success in his last two terms, when he became Head
Sacristan, won full Soccer Colours, played Bigside Bas-
ketball, and received House Officer privileges. Doug is
soon returning to England with his family, leaving many
friends behind who wish him the best of luck.
McINTYRE, P. H. — A small, hard, black-haired, good-look-
ing fellow sneaked nervously (?) into the School in Sep-
tember, 1942. At first glance, he reminded you of an
Italian Orange peddler, complete with violin, but he turn-
ed out to be something quite different. (Editor's Note:
Rather!). He was a star member of Bigside football
for three years, being Co- Vice-Captain and earning a
Distinction Cap in his final year. The field can't be the
same without Herby knocking himself out all over the
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 23
place or running about in his over-grown "Buck Rogers"
uniform, pretending he was "Man Mountain" Mclntyre.
He captained the "Smokeaters" in the Littleside Hockey
League in his first year, and was a steady slugger on
Middleside Cricket. He "acted" as manager of the hoc-
key team last season, and treated his boys like a mother
(Editor's Note: Oh yeah!). His general appearance, in-
cidentally, was rather odd. His shirt-sleeves had the
most peculiar habit of slipping down over his wrists and
getting dirty on his ink-smeared hands. The other dis-
tinctive feature was his "Dunhill" which, it is beheved,
never had a chance to cool down. He was made a Senior
in the fall, and carried out his duties in his own "little"
way. Last Valentine's day, a registered letter appeared
in the mail ; it was his draft call ! He has now left us to
join the army, but we won't forget his solo on "Don't
Fence Me In" at the School Dance for a long time. So
long. Herb. Hie! Come up and see us sometime.
ROBARTS, G. L. — "Ginger" George scampered up the
School Hill, gambolled around the playing fields, and
finally crawled into Bethune House in the fall of 1942.
He at once proceeded about the job of making himself
famous. One soon became accustomed to George wash-
ing his socks in the bathroom, gathering in the coppers
in the dorm blackjack games, or staring open-mouthed
at the accomplishments of various school athletes. Yet,
litttle does he realize how many of those self-same
athletes stared at hun, as he ably barked out signals on
Littleside Football, flashed around the boards while play-
ing for Bigside (yes, Bigside!) Hockey, gathered in the
speed balls on Middleside Cricket, or idly flicked a serve
past a dumbfoimded tennis opponent — all this, despite
an ever widening waist band. Yes, George excelled at
extra-curricular activities. Even in the classroom no
one could equal him at extra-curricular activities.
"Rusty" really excelled, however, in rimning around the
24 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
track, but this feat did not come naturally to him. It
was only developed after constant practice because
George just couldn't seem to get to bed in time! As
calm, cool and collected as ever (for the benefit of
strangers, that is benevolent sarcasm), George quietly
packed up his bags at the close of last term and set off
on his quest for the sea. By the way, your uniform will
attract the opposite sex, George, so keep your hat on,
and good hunting!
ROBSON, P. C.— Pete arrived at T.C.S. last year, fresh
from several "adventurous" years at Walkerville Col-
legiate, to make a name for himself in certain quarters
of the "underworld". An ardent "choir boy", a member
of this year's Bigside squad, and a full-fledged sunbather
on the Bethune terrace, Pete made many friends in his
rather brief stay here. Not what one might call a true
student, his main activities appeared to centre around
the "smoker" and several special "parties" in good old
Windsor, the former taking up most of his time, and the
latter most of his thoughts! Never idle, Pete always
seemed either on the verge or in the middle of some new
enterprise. He will be remembered as the only Smoker
Member ever to become baptized and confirmed on the
same day! The Navy took him at Easter, and we wish
him the best of luck.
WARNER, J. R. de C. — The name Warner brings to mind
two things — red hair and Delahaye. During his whole
stay, he was never without the former (although there
was a decided thinning after one of Gordon's haircuts),
and as for Delahaye — well, you just couldn't say one
name without the other. "Wein's" reputation was de-
finitely made on the football field; anyone who has ever
seen him try to catch a football might wonder why he
wanted to be a backfielder or, for that matter, ever had
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 25
been one. Even if he couldn't catch a ball, he certamly
could tackle the man coming through the line with the
ball. An inside on Bigside for two years, his "double-
action" method of getting through the line always left
his opponents on their faces. Nor were his talents re-
stricted to football, for his drive and determination on
the Gym. floor earned him a First Team Basketball
Colour. But this was the end. Neither cricket, nor
tennis, nor track, nor soccer could entice him out of the
"Smoker", where he spent his time relaxing pleasantly.
In fact, he spent so much time in this manner that he
was obliged to get up in the early hours of the morning
to atone for his sins — and voluntarily, too! When he
left us as Easter, "Wein" was a Senior of long standing,
a member of two first teams and of the Sixth Form. May
he ever have as much success and popularity in the U.S.
Navy, where he follows the footsteps of his brother.

"ONE CROWDED HOUR OF GLORIOUS LIFE IS
WORTH AN AGE WITHOUT A NAME"
(An answer to "The Influence of Wars on the Development of
Civilization", appearing in the February issue)
Beneath his feet, the hazy, purple heather bent for a
moment, then sprang back as his weight moved on. His
passage left no mark as he toiled up the steep slopes of
the Ben, for heather is like the human race, stubbornly
springing up again after being crushed. On reaching the
summit, he looked back over the blue loch which sparkled
at his feet, and at the purple hills in the distance. Their
crests were lost in the shimmering heat which hung like a
pall over the countryside. He took out his watch.
One hour since I started, he thought. One crowded
hour of glorious life. One hour when I was at peace. One
hour during which I contemplated all the fine things in
life; when my mind was not full of morbid memories, and
I could think of the classics, and better forms of govern-
ment for my people He brushed his eyes with his one
good hand .... And I could look at the countryside with-
out seeing shell-holes, broken homes, — broken bodies.
He smiled grimly at his wrist where his coat was
neatly folded and sewn.
Because an age brings war, does that mean it credits
glory? he wondered. It is certainly no credit to the glory
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 27
of God. Will names like Napoleon, the Kaiser, wear as
well as those of Shakespeare, Confucius and Pitt ? Does war
bring happiness, or is hero-worship a substitute for it in
time of strife? Surely an age without a name — a hero's
name — is better than one m which heroes abound, gaining
their fame through the blood and agony of others. The
world has never given peace a try, yet condemns peace for
being dull. The hour I spent just now was far from dull,
it was the best hour of my life, because no unworthy
thought entered my head. If I could capture this mood
and this place for other people, it would be better than if
I presented Hitler himself to the executioner. The demo-
cracies are winning their battle, but if this war could have
been avoided would people say at the end of the century
"Chivalry and glory died with the last war"? Or
would they say .... "Our decade has a great name; it has
had the longest peace ever known to mankind"?
He halted and gazed around him.
"Thank you, Lord," he said, "I owe you much for this."
He stooped and tucked a leather case under the
heather, then turned and strode away. The gold lettering
on the lid stated simply
"Croix de Guerre"
"For valour exceeding the call of duty."

IMPRESSIONS OF THE DAM
Lazily I stretched out on a high ledge beside the old
Ganaraska dam and let my mind wander. It was a warm
March day with barely a cloud above, except for one wisp
straggling off to the east. The ice and snow were melting
rapidly and the waters of the river were swirling smoothly
downstream. As the water neared the remains of the huge
cement blocks, it flowed more swiftly; then, it was sud-
denly and strongly caught in a rush and poured over the
28 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORp
dam. Bubbling and foaming, it lay at the bottom, then,
gathering itself together, it slowed its pace and continued
down the small river, between banks covered with gray
snow, dotted here and there by some young blades of grass
which had been bold enough to peek out from under their
winter blanket.
From my position by the side of the dam, I looked
down on the foaming torrent and eddying pools. Strangely,
I could not lift my gaze. Some hidden force of the smoothly
creased waters below held my eyes compellingly. I stared
down for a long while and my eyes looked deep into the
stream as it slipped over the edge of the dam to join the
jumbled current below.
As I kept gazing, several groups of boys down at the
side of the water were knocking away the ice on the river.
Even as I watched, a large chunk floated up to the brink
of the falls and then crashed over, adding, for a second,
its deep rumble to the droning roar of the torrent. At the
foot, the ice, now smashed into many pieces, floundered for
a moment and then was caught up once more in the cur-
rent and carried swiftly on its way.
Suddenly I remembered Tennyson's "Brook", and mar-
velled at the seemingly endless flow of water over the dam.
It was almost incredible that all year round, when I was
in bed, in classes, at home, on the train, and here beside
them, these waters continued to pour down the sluice-way,
and that the dull monotonous thundering of the falls would
always toll out above every other sound. As I wondered
at this, I thought of the others in former years who must
have stood nearby — or perhaps at this very spot — and
mused over the reflections that now gripped my imagina-
tion. But as I pondered over these thoughts I turned, and
even as I turned to look down again at the rushing stream
its magic vanished. I saw the torrent tumbling down and
the mist rising from the bottom and the boys hacking at
the ice. I saw what anyone would see; but no longer did
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 29
I feel the former fascination, that strange and wonderful
attraction the flowing waters had held for me.
I felt a sense of loss, of joy departed and irretrievable,
almost of loneliness. What a pure, clean sensation it had
been, what a freshness it gave! And now it was gone.
Slowly, dazedly I got up ; then, taking my eyes off the scene
below, I turned and walked mechanically back to the road,
on over the bridge and up the hill. At the top of the rise
I glanced back and caught a glimpse of the swirling river
which had so recently held a special charm for me and, in
the past, perhaps for others.
I walked on, quickening my step, and all at once, just
for a moment, there flashed across my inward eye that
wonderfully magic scene. Just for the shortest second I
recaptured that first fine rapture, that hidden secret. I
walked faster; I ran and ran faster, and ever faster. I
felt happy and fresh and new again; I felt the inward joy
of nature's revelation.
J. M. Hallward — Form V
DO YOU REMEMBER?
When e'er I find myself alone — and pensive,
I love to leave my daily cares behind,
And drift into the land of memories.
To bring back childhood days and friends to mind.
My recollections all are ones of happiness,
Of "cops 'n robbers", marbles, holidays,
Of Hallowe'en, and Santa Claus, and fairies,
And fireworks on the twenty-fourth of May.
And, oh, how well I see the earnest industry
Of building tree huts, snowmen, model planes;
Or gathering wild berries for a penny sale,
With liquorice from the corner store our gain.
And what a thrill it was that mischief brought:
To steal from old man Brown's apple tree.
Or secretly arise at five to meet the milkman,
30 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
And pick the chocolate cake in our pantry.
Or suddenly "forget" it's Sunday morning
And meet the gang at "poop-tree paradise",
To hike out to our dear old swimming hole
And have a "skinner" in the river, cold as ice.
Oh how we loved to hoax our placid neighbours
By "tictacs", purses stringed, or knocks at doors;
And when they caught us, we would all apologize,
And get a piece of cake for being polite.
And e'en on rainy days 'twas great adventure
To set up armies on the attic floor,
And lead a hundred thousand men to victory
By ingenious tactics, equalled ne'er before.
Oh, I am sure I could go on forever
Dreaming of days I'll not enjoy again;
How much I sometimes wish that time would turn
Around, and once again I could be only ten.

MOOSE TALK
Alec MacDougall was a middle-aged Indian of pure
blood despite his acquired name. He was grinning as he
left the Hudson's Bay Post, carrying in his hand a letter
from his son, Jim, which the Factor had been kind enough
to read to him. So Jim was in the American Army. He
was working for the Americans — a great joke that. He
would be well paid, anyway; they always did things in a
lavish way down there. Alec would never forget some of
the handsome tips he had been given while guiding for
them in the hunting and fishing seasons. All these thoughts
ran through his mind before he recalled an incident that
had taken place during the moose season, some four years
ago.
He had been engaged as a guide for one week-end by
Senator Wilbur Armstrong. The wealthy Texan intended
to shoot moose in Florence Lake, a gem of Northern On-
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 31
tario some thirty-five miles north of the Post. In spite of
his fear, Alec had consented to fly into the lake with his
employer; arriving safely, he had prepared the camp and
a good meal before the sun sank in a final blaze of glory
behind the sheer, towering, granite cliffs on the north-west
shore.
The first rays of the reappearing sun wakened the
Indian in the early hours of the following morning. Having
nothing better to do, for he never slept after dawn, he
made his way down to the smooth rock where his canoe
was drawn up. While soft, hardly perceptible gusts of
wind gradually cleared the mist from the lake, he silently
propelled his craft into a shallow bay nearby. There, amid
the tall reeds, stood two large and imposing bull moose.
Since they were intent on eating, the Indian judged that
they would not soon depart. He swiftly returned from
whence he came and pulled his blankets over him as if he
had not been up at all.
A moment later, the white man was startled from
slumber by his guide, who was whispering loudly, "Wake
you, wake you, quick".
In reply to the Texan's mumblings he continued, "Me
smell moose". He sniffed the air around him again and
added, "Me smell two bull moose".
Alec had ordered his astonished employer to keep
silent before the latter could begin to question him, and,
having collected a gun and some ammunition, the pair
quietly set out for the little cove. Sure enough. Senator
Armstrong found two bull moose, managed to shoot both,
and rewarded his guide more than generously before re-
turning to the south.
MacDougall mentally visualized all these things as he
paddled away from the Post to his little shack. Though
illiterate, he still kept here an issue of a popular, American
sporting periodical which featured the amazing story of a
Canadian Indian g^de, who could not only smell moose at
half a mile, but could tell how many there were.

A MONUMENT TO MAN
The grave's a silent thing: whate'er
We do while in this world is lost;
The presidency of a state
Is naught when we compare the true
Accomplishments of One who died
A martyr's death upon the cross.
However, lives well-lived should be
Remembered long. How else are we
To set our course the perfect way?
Christ's life, a beacon, shines upon
Us from the past; we must have some
Before us now, the path to show.
He was that type of man: He tried
To live, and then to die the best,
Most useful way in which He knew.
The weight of years of worry, strain
And illness left their mark, and when
He least expected bore him off.
He strove for peace; He strove ahead
To better ways to live; the man.
The common man, was ever His
Most salient thought. Some criticized,
While others brought Him to the top
Where He could put His plans in play;
Republican or Democrat,
Whate'er He was, He stood for peace,
And honour, common good for all.
But surely what He did while in
This world will live long after He
Is gone: A monument to man.

THE TREES STILL STAND
The fearful storm's wind tore relentlessly at the huge
pines that fringed the small lake, the rain slashed at the
foliage and rutted the earth around the trees' roots. At
quickening intervals, loud crashes penetrated through the
menacing wind. The more sturdy ones fought against the
fearful onslaught. Then, almost as quickly as the storm
had come, it died, and the dark thunder clouds were herded
away by the prevailing winds, grumbling as they went.
The sky became clear and cool as the rays of the sunset
sky crept stealthily back to the stricken area, spreading
warmth to the moisture laden trees which began to right
themselves. The sun dipped down behind the thickly
wooded ridge in its final stage of beauty, painting the sky
red and purple, tapering off to a lovely pale blue. An
innocent cloud was given a glorious golden hue. The leaves
waved in ever-strengthening applause at this spectacular
sight, given to the battered trees as a reward for holding
out against the malevolent storm. Finally, the curtain of
night ended the beautiful scene, leaving the audience no
chance for a curtain call. But, as the night blackened, the
stars did their best to wink at the sleeping world, thus
giving a twinkling ballet and covering the earth with a
silvery coat until the dawn should come; then, once more,
the strengthened trees would meet the day.

orr THE
THE COURTSHIP OF FADED LELY
(Taken from the Indian Legend)
Canto I: In which the plight of the fair maiden, Faded
Lily, is revealed.
By the shores of Lake Re-Volting,
Dwelt the lovely Faded Lily.
Her features, sad, were slightly jolting
But her shape was really dilly.
Dwelt in a tepee by the water
(Air-Conditioned, central heating)
While her papa, Creeping Otter,
Printed bank-notes without ceasing.
Braves for miles and miles around
Steered clear of lovely Faded Lily,
And foolish as perhaps it sounds,
It wasn't silly, rilly!
Canto II: In which a noble warrior comes to rescue her,
and the villain is revealed.
Until one day through Ringworm Pass,
Across the Plains of Trench-foot, came
The mighty warrior "Out-of-gas,"
A brave of international fame.
Came from out the western water
To the shores of Lake Re-Volting,
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 35
Came for Creeping Otter's daughter
Came with eagle plumes a-moulting.
And his rival for the hand
Of the shy, retiring maiden
Was the villain, "Hot-dog- stand,"
Feared throughout the Flat-feet nation.
For he could spit a hundred paces
When his wind was good and sound,
And rabbits dared not show their faces
In this monster's hunting-groimd
Canto III: In which the struggle for the maiden takes
place.
And so these braves of well-known might
Met, at a cool-green shaded patch
Of grass, and pledged, for their awful fight
That king of struggles, a spitting match!
In the blackness of the night-time
The struggle waged, until
When the sun began its climb,
One warrior-brave lay stark and still.
The hunter stretched out by the water
On the coldness of the sand,
The loser of C. Otter's daughter.
Was, of course, great "Hot-dog-stand"!
And "Out-of-gas", the noble victor,
Went to claim his conquered bride,
But when he saw the Lily's picture
He, too, lay down and died.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
IMPRESSIONS OF THE SEASON
It is May, the temperature is up to 70 degrees, cricket
is in full swing, the end of the term is less than a month
away and the fishing season is open — yet I've been asked
to write some impressions of the hockey season, of all
things !
Those four months of hockey seem a long way off now
and my impressions are vague — vague and slightly mixed
up with swimming, basketball, cricket and a trip to Niagara
Falls. That trip to Niagara Falls was the highlight of
the season. Such nice ice at Port Colborne, too: they say
that it was artificial ice — real, blue-painted, artificial ice!
And those roomy, air-conditioned coaches were so cool,
not a bit tiring! The barometer is rising and so would
those Ganaraska brown trout be rising. Hare's Ear should
be good to-day.
Huycke was Captain of the hockey team, and provided
real leadership. No novelty, of course, for Huycke to be
Captain of a School team. He should have had that cast
put on before he boxed Hogarth and not afterwards. Daw-
son kept wickets with few byes. I mean he stopped every-
thing that could be reasonably expected, and also some
very remarkable and unreasonable ones. Campbellford
forwards found Dawson most unreasonable at times.
Howard is Vice-Captain of Cricket and is said to be one
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 37
of the best bats in the School. He was also a standout on
the defence in hockey, being one of the smoothest skaters
we've had at T.C.S. in a long time. On second thought,
Hare's Ear might not be so good to-day — a bit too cloudy.
Dawson, Huycke, Howard were awarded Distinction Caps.
These awards were made after the School Dance and there-
fore had little practical value. Dobell i is Captain of Track
and Vice-Captain of Hockey and he runs very fast. He
skated the same way at the centre forward position on the
first line. The School and Captain Batt won the Imperial
Challenge Shield again this year. Dobell had a very good
shot also. He hit the bull's eye, ankle-high, many times,
and made it possible for Sinclair and McMurrich to do the
same. Some chance that Sinclair and McMurrich are com-
ing back next fall. That means two running halves, one
quarterback, one plunging half, two passers.
But here, these are hockey impressions. McMurrich
was high scorer on the team, being very useful wdth his
bat just off the crease. The opposition always claimed
that he was just in the crease, while the referees were of
two minds about it all season. Sinclair was probably the
most consistent forward on the team. After all, he is the
Sport's Editor. He is also very good at aquatics — an
extremely useful accomplishment this spring around T.C.S.
There are two feet of water in Mr. Kerr's new jumping pit
already. Another six inches and we are going to stock it.
How Hope missed the Debating team is a mystery. He
was the best debater, certainly, on the hockey squad and
a pretty good centre-forward, too. He gambled with his
shoulder (U.S. Tracks being closed as of January 1) and
we were all delighted that he won. A very courageous
piece of work. Roenisch, Gilbert and Robarts rounded out
the forward lines. The word "rounded" is used advisedly
and has no reference to the figure Gilbert cut on the ice.
As a matter of fact, Gilbert was one of the best at all times.
The so-called second line often saved the day for the team.
Roenisch played with a smile on his face all the time. He
38 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
even hit someone on the nose while smiling. This proved
very confusing to the opposition; but the referee knew
what to do. Roenisch was the most improved player on
the team this year, and Robarts is in the navy. If he pur-
sues Japanese subs with the same gusto he had while
chasing the puck, the war in the Pacific won't last too long.
Davidson and Pearson i relieved Huycke and Howard
— Pearson and U.N.R.R.A. certainly go together. Davidson
played well when given a chance and was particularly good
defensively. He scored twice and assisted on several goals,
very much to the surprise and joy of everyone, including
Davidson. And, very seriously, it should be added that
sport would always be in a very high place indeed if every
boy showed the same attitude which Pearson did during
the hockey season. Mclntyre i, in his big boots, and Fen-
nell in the goal judge's cage, complete the picture. Mc-
lntyre was an excellent manager; Fennell, next winter,
should be our regular goal-keeper.
The team saw a fair portion of Southern Ontario, made
many good friends, had some very loyal supporters, and all
in all had a fine season. And we almost won the champion-
ship. Excuse me while I go and dig up some garden hackle.

SOHOOL vs. POWASSEN
At Oshawa, March 21; Won 9-3
Trinity College School moved into the finals of the
M.O.H.A. Juvenile "B" league by defeating Powassen 9-3.
Despite Mousseau's early first period goal the School never
seemed to be in danger and had little trouble in winning.
The first period opened slowly, with neither team able
to gain an immediate advantage. Mousseau opened the
scoring after five minutes when he took McCloskey's pass
close in to beat Dawson. The School immediately carried
the play with new vigour into Powassen's end, where they
kept it for most of the remainder of the period. Hope
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 39
evened up the score when he took Huycke's pass at the
blue-line and tallied, and Howard put T.C.S. up one when
a combination with Dobell and Sinclair clicked. Huycke
and Dobell each scored before the end of the period to make
it 4-1 for the School.
Twenty-four seconds after the second period opened,
Sinclair scored on a lovely play from Huycke and Dobell.
Powassen took advantage of Huycke's penalty to press, but
excellent defensive work and back-checking kept them off
the score sheets. Play see-sawed back and forth, both
goalies being called upon to make sensational saves, and
not until three minutes before the end of the period was
the School able to score, Hope being the marksman. The
period ended with T.C.S. scrambling around the Powassen
net, and the score 6-1.
Dobell opened the scoring in the final frame, eleven
seconds after the opening face-off, Sinclair getting the
assist. Powassen got their second goal of the game three
minutes later, Piper scoring from Mousseau. Huycke, how-
ever, nullified this effort when his hard shot from the blue-
line glanced off a stick to beat Hummel. Davidson got the
School's final counter a few minutes later when he blasted
a shot from the red-line. Play evened up for the remainder
of the period. Powassen showed good combination but
was unable to get it past Dawson until, with less than a
minute to go, Mousseau scored his second goal of the game
on a break-away with Piper to make the final score 9-3.
The game was dominated by the hard force-checking of
the T.C.S. forwards, and the School's victory was mainly
due to this work. Huycke and Howard also showed welj
on defence. Despite the score, Hummel was excellent in
the Powassen nets, while Mousseau was their best forward.

Mousseau; wings, McCloskey, Piper. Alternates: Kiunbel, Hyddle,

SCHOOL vs. WELLAND
At Port Colborne, March 28: Lost 11-7
The Hockey team packed their trunks a day early last
term, and headed from Toronto for the General Brock
Hotel the following noon. The visit to Niagara was the
first for some and old stuff to others, but apart from losing
a hard game on bad ice that night, all who went to the
Falls and the States more than enjoyed themselves.
In the first of the Juvenile "B" O.M.H.A. finals, the
School carried the play, and the quick turning of the tide
in the last period is hard to comprehend. Barker of Wel-
land opened the scoring, but the School came back with
one from Gilbert and another from Roenisch, Thus, a
fast, thrill-packed period ended 2-1 in the School's favour,
much to the delight of Port Hopers who were informed of
the period scores by telephone.
The second period was much the same as the first,
goals coming from Barker, Kafun and Rosette, to give Wel-
land a 4-2 lead. This, however, lasted but a few minutes
before the School again stepped ahead, first by one from
McMurrich, then two from Gilbert and one from Dobell,
The second period closed with a 6-4 T.C.S. lead.
Disaster fell upon the School in the next twenty
minutes, Welland scoring seven goals, six of which came in
three minutes and sixteen seconds, when the School had
two badly timed penalties. Sinclair was the School's lone
marksman, tallying twenty seconds before the closing
whistle, to make the final count 11-7.
Welland — Goal, Doyle; defence, Kafun, Beatty; centre, Ander-
son; wings, Holmes, Barker. Alternates: Onda, Ort, Rosette, Belle,
Howick, Montanna.
T.C.S. — Goal, Dawson; defence, Huycke, Howard; centre, Dobell;
wings, Sinclair, McMurrich. Alternates: Gilbert, Roenisch, Hope,
Davidson, Fennell.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 4J
SCHOOL vs. WELLAND
At Oshavva, March 29: Lost 11-4
The second game of the finals was nothing like the
first, for although the ice was the best possible, the teams
had both slowed down considerably, due to so much travel-
ling. After a few minutes of play, however, there seemed
to be no doubt as to the outcome of the game, yet the
School fought admirably with a determined, never-say-die
spirit. Howick and Barker were the Welland marksmen
in the first period, while McMurrich was the School's lone
scorer. The second and third periods were much alike,
Welland racking up seven goals in the second and two in
the last, to two in the second and one in the third for the
School. Thus, Welland took the game by an 11-4 count
and the series by a decisive 22-11 score.
Howick, Anderson and Holmes, all on the same line,
bagged three goals each, and Barker scored two. The
School's goals were divided amongst McMurrich, Dobell,
Sinclair and Gilbert. The main star of the series, however,
was Dawson, the School's goalie, who, despite the number
of goals scored upon him, did more than his share for the
team. No one knew it, but he carried a case of chicken pox
with him in both games. Much credit also goes to the
Captain, Eddie Huycke, who played two stand-out games
with a badly broken thumb.
Welland — Goal, Doyle; defence, Kafun, Beatty; centre, Ander-
son; wings, Holmes, Barker. Alternates: Onda, Ort, Rosette, Belle,
Howick Montajina.
T.C.S. — Goal, Dawson; defence, Huycke; Howard; centre, Dobell;

EDITORIAL
The period between the middle of April and the middle
of May is devoted annually to the formation of the Cadet
Corps and the perfecting of various Gym. displays. As a
result, the activities on the playing fields are cut consider-
ably, and it is often difficult to organize team practices
with hopes of a full turn-out. Nevertheless, cricket started
with a bang when the grass wicket was used for a practice
game early in April. Cox i as Captain, Howard as Vice-
Captain and Mr. Wilson as coach, supervised the team,
which included five of last year's Colours and many cric-
keters from Bermuda.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 43
Middleside played the game seriously under the able
guidance of Mr. Gwynne-Timothy, and a thorough ground-
ing is being given for future play. Wilson was elected
Captain and Vernon Vice-Captain.
Littleside lost its traditional coach, but gained a
valuable adviser in the Rev. Mr. Bagley, who took over Mr.
Scott's duties. Gaunt was elected Captain and Pater-
son iii Vice-Captain.
Track came into the limelight, perhaps more than
ever before, as we were the proud possessor of a full-time
coach. Mr. Kerr took over in the full sense of the word,
and the track team turned out regularly. Dobell i was
elected Captain.
The swimming team continued to operate this term,
and here, also, meets were arranged, with the climax being
the annual House Meet.
Tennis has been enjoying its usual popularity, and the
courts have been in constant use.
An explanation might be in order regarding the ap-
pearance of more hockey material in this issue. Owing to
the late dates of the last three games, we were unable to
report them in our last number.

On looking back through past numbers of the Record,
we have been struck by the frequent allusions we have
made to the weather! We have firmly resolved not to men-
tion it this time — it is, indeed, unmentionable!
The boxing competition, which took place at the end
of last term, was a good one. There was a larger J.S.
entry than usual and it produced many very good bouts.
Some forty boys have entered the Junior School Tennis
Tournament this year, and the competition promises to be
very close.
Again this year the Junior School responded very
generously to the Red Cross drive for funds. The total of
$127.00 which was reached is a very good effort.
Our sincere thanks to Mrs. Alan Stewart for a gift of
costumes and a number of B.O.P.'s.
Starting this term, the bounds for the top forms in the
J.S. were considerably extended. Boys in these forms

are allowed Town Leave on Saturday morning and Country
leave on half holidays and Sunday.
The Junior School joined in the V-E Day chapel ser-
vice with the Senior School. In the evening there was a
bonfire and a feed for the School. On Tuesday we watched
the parade in the town, and then ran off some of the pre-
liminary heats for Sports day. The boys cooked their ovm
picnic lunch outside.
Our best wishes go with Richard Abel- Smith who has
left us to return to England.

V-E DAY
To a Junior School boy, nearly six years represents a
large portion of his life. It means that many of the
younger boys have no recollection of the beginning of the
war — to them there has been war for as long as they can
remember. Even to the oldest lads in the J.S. the early
years of conflict are not clearly marked except in cases
where a father or a brother went off to war.
Now, V-E Day has come at last! The fathers and
brothers can be expected home in the not too distant
future. The small nine-year-old, who watched them go
off to war, has now grown into a husky fourteen-year-old.
How proud they will be of each other!
In the midst of the general rejoicing our thoughts
turn to those boys whose fathers have given their lives
that their sons might grow up in a free world. We are
confident that these lads will grow up to be worthy of them.
We also think with deep gratitude of the many Old Boys
52 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
from the Junior School who have fought and died so gal-
lantly.
We are glad to think of what V-E Day will mean to
our many English boys who have returned to their homes.
They were good lads, and we wish them well in the years
which lie ahead.
THE VOLCANO
We had been travelling for three hours now, heading
for the new volcano which had erupted and started out of
a corn field. In one hour more we would reach our destina-
tion, which was a city by the name of Uruapan. From
there, we would mount busses and ride ten mOes over a
trail littered with cinders from the city to the volcano it-
self.
Arriving in Uruapan, we found everything, every nook
and cranny, covered with at least a thin layer of cinders.
They were continually raining down and getting into every-
thing, even the food.
We spent about an hour in Uruapan, and, having
changed our clothes and eaten, we finally got onto some
horses and started off for the volcano.
After a long, hard, dusty ride, we saw through the
cinder covered trees a reddish glow, which told us we were
approaching the volcano. By now, every thirty or forty
seconds you could feel the earth tremble like a jelly be-
neath your feet. We also had to get off our mounts, as
the cinders were so deep that the horses were just flounder-
ing about, just as a horse flounders in deep mud.
We kept on going, and suddenly, as we came around
a bend, we saw the volcano. It looked just like a display
of firecrackers on the fourth of July. Tremendous
boulders, red hot, were being shot twenty -five hundred feet
out of the crater, together with long red streamers of
burning gasses. Over it all hung, like a great big cloud, a
pall of dense, black smoke. Every once in a while you
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 53
could hear a tinkle like the breaking of glass, where a
boulder had fallen and, meeting the cold ground, had split.
To the left of the flaming crater was a hole in the side
of the volcano, where white-hot lava was pouring out and
devouring everything in its path. Every so often you could
see a flash of flame, where the lava had met a tree and was
burning it up. Soon, the village of Paricatin, about two
miles away, would be devoured by the lava. Already you
could see people with their belongings making their way
somewhere else to make a new home.
Night was coming on, and with it came the rain. We
started leading our horses back the way we had come. One
last look, and then all you could see was a red glow through
the trees. This glow meant beauty for some people and
sadness and destruction for others.
— Mackenzie i, Form III
THE BOMBER
My story is a short one;
It's not a merry song.
If you think my job's an easy one
Then you are quite wrong.
Early in the morning.
And often in the night,
I rise up from the runway
Into the air to fight.
On the way there is no sleeping —
I fly, I dive, I zoom;
If the enemy is in the sky
I'll shoot them up quite soon.
O'er the blazing target,
Then the bombing run;
To watch the bombs exploding
Seems to be quite fun.
54 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
But every bomber's end must come,
And every man's the same —
I crashed into the hard, hard ground
In the midst of song and fame.
So, when you are rejoicing,
In your humble prayers
Think of the men and planes
Lying here and there.
And also when you're praying
For us across the sea.
Don't forget the bombers —
Especially pray for me.
— A. Croll, FormUlAlr
THE END
Slowly the emaciated figure crept over the snow on all
fours ; he seemed to be a walking or crawling mass of frost.
The wind and snow blew at him mercilessly. When he
brought his foot up to push himself farther across the snow
his knee, which showed through the rip in his trousers,
was as red as the sun would have been, had it been shining.
He raised his head slowly and one could see his eyes,
almost out of their sockets, gaze through the brightly
lighted window where he could just hear, above the noise
of the wind, the merry-making and the crackle of the warm
fire.
He finally reached the door and his hand was slowly
lifted towards the handle, which he failed to reach. After
many futile attempts his hand dropped, his feet drummed
on the snow, he gave a slow shudder, and he lay still.
The wind howled mercilessly across the still body and
the snow beat down on it.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 55
The sun shone brightly and a cool breeze kept the air
from becoming too hot.
From the bottom of the valley in which stood the ham-
let of Clivesbury, a small procession wound its way up the
hill to the graveyard.
It was a fine beginning of Spring.

CREE CRICKET
Cricket is a funny game.
On this we all agree;
But of all the funny games I've seen,
Was one played with a Cree.
Now Cree's an Injun tribe, you know,
A right nice one at that,
But this bright boy, Kiji's the name,
Was really good at bat.
For cricket is an English game,
You'll not deny that truth.
But when an Injim tries his hand.
Well, that's not quite forsooth.
But you just wait and see
The outcome of this game.
And you'll agree with me, I bet,
That Injuns can be tame.
The play has started, the Injun bats,
He knocks it for a four;
With one loud whoop he runs the pitch.
Then hits it for four more.
Now this went on for quite a while.
Until, bad luck, he's caught;
For then the wickets fell quite fast,
And the Cree's team came to naught.
56 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
The Cree was in the field at last,
To play long leg was his,
And all the balls which that day were hit,
To catch them was his biz.
He ran here, there and everywhere,
A stupid fool was he,
But when you take all this in hand.
He was only just a Cree.
— R. B. Mackenzie, Form IIA2
THE CONVOY
It had been a long, hard trip. The convoy had suffered
both from nature and the enemy. Yet, on the tenth day,
the storm raged with ever increasing fury and the sub-
marine detectors hummed louder. The decks were coated
with ice and it was practically suicide to go on deck. Over
half the crew had had some part of their body frozen at
one time or another, and the storm still raged. One man
was swept clean off the deck while trying to get aft and
was never seen again. On the morning of the eleventh day
the storm abated a little, and by noon the other ships that
had not got off their course were visible. They all looked
to be in no better shape than we were.
At five o'clock that night, the submarine detectors
ceased to hum and the sea was almost back to normal. The
following morning land was sighted and we were pretty
well on our course. Our escort then left us and we made
port. The whole convoy had lost five men and two serious-
ly injured. One ship was lost, but most of its crew had
been rescued. Yet, despite all this, "The Convoy Got
Through".

OLD BOYS' NOTES— I— On Active Service
HONOURS
Lieut. Peter Y. Taylor ('34-'35), D.F.C.: An official
Army Air Force Communique reads as follows: "Covering
the air attack on Morotai, as Yank landing barges scraped
ashore on the Jap-held island, Lieut. Taylor and his crew
members of a Catalina Flying boat, observed two fighter
pilots floating in the water between Morotai and nearby
Halmahera island, where they had been shot down.
"Enemy gun positions were on one side of the fliers,
while barge-mounted machine g^ins kept up an incessant
cross fire on the other side. In spite of no fighter protec-
tion, a choppy sea making the landing dangerous and Jap
batteries opening up as the plane approached, the crew set
the ship down within 100 feet of one pilot.
"The rescue was made in a few minutes but the second
pilot was killed by machine gun fire before the plane got
to him."
The citation reads as follows: "During the entire
operation the rescue aircraft was subjected to incessant
enemy barrage which damaged it severely. The outstand-
ing courage and devotion to duty displayed by these crew
members under hazardous conditions are worthy of the
highest commendation.
"Lieut. Taylor who escaped uninjured from the dar-
ing rescue, has flown more than 75 rescue missions with the
'Snafu Snatchers', 13th A.A.F. Rescue unit".

Squadron Leader J. W. C. Langmuir ('35-'40), D.F.C.:
The complete citation for the award reads as follows:
"This officer has completed a large number of anti-
submarine sorties over the North Atlantic. He has always
displayed a high degree of skill and keenness of a most
commendable nature in the performance of his duties. As
captain of aircraft he pressed home two most determined
attacks on an enemy submarine despite intense and heavy
anti-aircraft fire. On another occasion he made an excel-
lent attack on another U-boat. S/L Langmuir's qualities
of courage, leadership and determination have been an in-
spiration to all those with whom he has been associated".

The citation covering the award of the Croix de Guerre

Lieut. Gordon L. Rawlinson ('33-'36), Royal Canadian
Dragoons, who has been awarded the Military Cross, is
now back in Canada. The citation covering the M.C. reads:
"On August 30, 1944, his troop v/as given the task of find-
ing a crossing over the River Foglia in the area near Borgo
S. Maria. This officer was the first across the river in the
face of heavy mortar and machine gun fire and personally
organized a defensive bridgehead which was immediately
strongly counter-attacked by the enemy. This attack was
repulsed after very hard fighting during which Lieut,
Rawlinson displayed courage and leadership of the highest
order. The advance was resumed.
"On September 17, his troop was given the task of
clearing the enemy in an area of railroad track from the
River Melo to the River Marano. Upon reaching the
Marano. Lieut. Rawlinson saw that the enemy had not yet
consolidated on the opposite bank of the river. Lieut.

Rawlinson led his troop across the dangerous obstacle in
face of very heavy fire. The enemy immediately counter-
attacked after a heavy concentration of mortar fire and in-
flicted seven casualties on his troop after fierce hand-to-
hand fighting. Although twice wounded and weak from
loss of blood Lieut. Rawlinson remained in the forefront of
the battle for half an hour. By his great courage and
skill he rallied his troop and under cover of smoke he
evacuated all his casualties. By this time he was on the
verge of collapse from exhaustion and wounds but he ex-
tricated the remainder of his troop and remained until all
his men had been withdrawn to cover before allowing a
medical orderly to evacuate him".

February close behind our shells and had some very bitter
fighting. I then had a leave and got back with my unit
in time for the crossing of the Rhine .... We joined in
the mad dash to the North Sea. It was not all a picnic
and the only part of the Gronigen welcome I can remember
is a very accurately laid 20 mm. and small arms fire. It
was a hot spot and we were not sorry to see another
battalion push through our hard won bridgehead. I am
now in Herman's front yard and it is quite easy to get
accommodation. We have run across a great many freed

of blood plasma for wounded men. Lister is serving in
Belgium and writes in part: "I want to make it very plain
that hundreds of lives have been saved in our unit alone
by this means. The saving of these lives would not be
possible were it not for the people at home in Canada and
England who are donating their blood, and for the splen-
did organization that processes and delivers it We
are where the work is being done, but you are giving us
the means by which it can be done. There is no greater
satisfaction possible than to see a man, who an hour and
a half ago was at death's door, talking and smoking with
you It is a great work, and a work in which we all

have a part — you do the ground work and I see the won-
derful results."

"The boy who thinks a dollar
is not worth saving becomes
a man who thinks a hundred
dollars is not worth saving,
and he usually ends where he
began — that is, with nothing."
Thus spoke a successful finan-
cier to a group of yoimg men.
Get the habit of saving now, no matter how
small the amount. Your account, whatever its
size, will be welcome at the Bank of Montreal.

O Almighty God, who art wiser than the
children of men and overrulest all things to their
good, hold, we beseech Thee, in Thy keeping all
ivho have gone forth to battle for our cause,
especially those from this School: watch over
those that are missing: comfort afid protect those
in the hands of the enemy. Be with them in the
hour of danger, strengthen them in the hour of
weakness, sustain and comfort them in the hour
of sickness or of death. Grant that they may be
true to their calling and true always to Thee,
and make both them and us to be strong to do our
duty in Thy service, through Jesus Christ our
Lord.

EDITORIAL
To-day a shadow is lifting over Europe and the World;
after nearly six years of doubt and darkness, of uncer-
tainty and fear, after the most gallant struggle and the
fullest sacrifice the world has ever seen, light is beginning
to dawn and life has meaning and a future in this world
again.
We are too close yet to the war to realize the full signi-
ficance of it, but several aspects seem to be clear.
An evil idea, conceived and generated in the minds of
a small group of men and spread to a very large number
of their countrymen through persuasion, threats, and fear,
led a whole nation into criminal acts formerly perpetrated
only by the worst gangsters.
2 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
This evil idea was based on the behef that one nation
could dominate others by force and treat human beings as
slaves for the benefit of the master race.
Hostility and the most terrible cruelty took the place
of understanding, tolerance, and friendship; barbaric force
was substituted for reason; hysterical ravings took the
place of truth ; killing and unthinkable concentration camps
abolished any individual liberty. The fine spirit of man
was being crushed to extinction.
The attempt of these creatures to impose this dia-
bolical doctrine on the world has resulted in more untimely
death, more maiming, more misery and heartache than the
world has ever known.
If we set aside the horrible barbarities which have
robbed the perpetrators of any right to the title of human
beings, we find that the essential evil, the core of the
cruelty, was the denial of the dignity of man, a denial that
every man was created in the image of God.
With that denial went the abolishing of all the Chris-
tian virtues, and the imprisoning of Christian clergy, like
Martin Niemohler, who resisted this evil scheme.
Friendship, love, mercy, sympathy, were considered
signs of weakness; kill, kill, kill for the fatherland was the
bestial cry instead of the watchword, "Love the Lord thy
God and thy neighbour as thyself."
These creatures denied the existence of our God and
gave full rein to the foul devil that was in them; they
poisoned themselves and spread the poison to thousands of
others.
Surely we must constantly be on the alert to destroy
the first sign of any such poison and not allow it to grow
until it becomes a plague threatening the existence of
human life everywhere.
Now the lights which went out in September, 1939,
are coming on again; now the communications between
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3
man and man. broken for six years, are gradually being
restored.
San Francisco means the possibility of a new inter-
national world order based on justice, trust, faith, genero-
sity and co-operation, based, in short, on the dignity of
man and the God-like qualities in him. We must ever
work and pray for the success of such a world order, work
and pray earnestly and reverently for it.
Never can we forget that our lives, our homes, our
liberties, our faith, our whole future has been saved by the
men of our forces and those of our allies. They have been
superbly brave and self-sacrificing; they will live in our
hearts for ever. Through their courage and greater love
for their friends,
"Honour has come back as a king to earth
And paid his subjects with a royal wage;
Nobleness walks in our paths again
And we have come into our heritage."
Let us, through our service for our fellow men, make
sure that Honour and Nobleness and all their attendant
qualities which bring peace and fair dealing and happiness
among men, will never again disappear from our lives.
— An address by the Headmaster in Chapel on 'VE' Day
We have tried to make this issue of "The Record" a
special VE Day number. In it will be found further facts
about the war service of our Old Boys. We have been told
on good authority that no civilian school in the Empire can
boast a better war record; we are justly and deeply proud
of our Old Boys, realizing something of the sacrifices they
have made for us.

IN MEMORIAM
J. D. Bl TLEK
Trooper. Annoured Corps
It seems only the other day that John Butler was
walking do\Mi the corridors at T.C.S. m his usual cheery
way: word of his deatli in action on May 4 shocked every-
one and it was hard to believe that "Lou" would not be
returning to us.
He spent tliree years at T.C.S. from September. 1940,
until June. 1943. By perseverance he became a member
of the VI B Form and for two years he played on Bigside
football, winning Middleside colours. In hockey he was a
stalwart defence man on the Middleside team.
In his tina] year he was appointed a House Officer and
he fultilled his duties well.
But it was in "off duty" hours tliat John made his
mark; always did he jump into any discussion of the
French Canadian question and present a formidable de-
fence of his neighbour of Lake St. John. In debates he
made many speeches, and the good natured argimients
were often carried into tiie Brent House common room.
John maintained his composure and kept a smile on his
face whatever difficulties confronted him.
Shortly after leaving he enlisted in tlie Infantry and
after his basic training he was posted to Camp Borden in
the Armoured Corps. He \'isited the School for week-ends
sevei-al times and his many friends were indeed glad to
see him again.
Going to Elngland in the spring of 1944 he was sent
to Italy in January. 1945. ti-avelling out on the same ship
Fred Huycke was on. John was posted as part of a rein-
forcement for the R.C.D.'s but that regiment came out of
action before he joined it. Shortly afterwards, the Cana-
dians were transferred to the European Theatre and John
went into action a few days after his arrival. Writing to
the School on April IS. he said his squadron had been ver>'
fortunate in the few casualties they had sustained but they
had taken about three hundred prisoners a day. No de-
tails have vet been received of John's death but it is knovra
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 5
his unit was in heavy fighting in Holland before the Ger-
mans surrendered the day after he was killed. It was
tragic that his death should have come just at the end of
the JEighting in that part of Europe; he has done his
courageous part to save the lives of many others.
Our deep sympathy goes out to his mother and father
of Isle Maligne, P.Q., who have lost an only son.
A. G. BYERS
Flight Lieutenant, R.C.A.F.
Alan entered the Junior School in 1928 and left us
from the Senior School in 1931. In School, he was a mem-
ber of the McGill form and of the Littleside Gym. VIII; he
played on the Littleside hockey team. Alan's fine char-
acter was always admired and he had many friends.
In 1931, he left for Switzerland, spending a year at
Institution Sillig.
Returning to McGill he studied Commerce, graduating
with high standing, and chose the profession of Chartered
Accountant. Within a year, he had passed all necessary
C.A. examinations at the first time of writing and he joined
the firm of Haskell, Elderkin and Company in Montreal.
His ideals were set high, and he was quick to express dis-
like for unethical business methods.
On the outbreak of war, he could easily have remained
deferred in his occupation, or he could have attained high
rank in the Accountant Branch of the R.C.A.F., but he pre-
ferred to be amongst the active flyers and to mix in happy
comradeship. Alan enlisted in 1939, trained for pilot at
Borden and Trenton, and was posted to fighters on the
Pacific Coast. Promoted to Flight Lieutenant he was later
posted to Coastal Patrol on the East Coast.
In May, 1944, he was posted missing with a crew of
twelve when his bomber disappeared and no trace was
found. He was recently presumed dead.
Surviving are his wife, son and daughter, his parents,
Dr. and Mrs. Gordon Byers of Montreal, two brothers,
Donald ('26-'30) and Malcolm, and two sisters, to all of
whom the School extends deep sympathy.
6 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
I. B. CROLL
Flight Lieutenant, R.C.A.F.
Ian entered the School in September, 1921, the younger
brother of Duncan Croll, and left in June, 1927. He was
a very good student being in the top set of the Sixth Form,
and he played all the games with enthusiasm, winning Mid-
dleside colours in football and cricket, and second team
colours in hockey.
After he left he entered the Royal Military College,
Kingston, and upon graduating he became associated with
tthe Manufacturers Life Insurance Company in Winnipeg;
later he was appointed branch manager of the Monarch
Life in the same city. Very soon Ian had become one of
the leading insurance men in the city.
He enlisted early in 1940 and after winning his wings
he was appointed an instructor at the Central Flying School
in Trenton with the rank of Flying Officer. As his abilities
were considered so highly by the officers in charge, he
several times flew across the country to test the instruc-
tors at the various schools in the Air Training Plan. Dur-
ing these years he often visited the School in his English
car and showed that he had lost none of his affection for
T.C.S. He arranged to send his son to the Junior School,
where he now is.
In October, 1943, Ian was posted overseas and was
attached to the R.A.F. flying new Mosquito bombers. In
June, 1944, he was reported missing while on operations
over enemy territory during the invasion of Europe. He
is now officially presumed to have been killed.
Ian was a most loyal son of the School; for many
years he was secretary of the Winnipeg branch of the Old
Boys' Association and never was any work for T.C.S. too
much trouble for him. He had a confident, youthful out-
look on life, giving zest and enthusiasm to all his under-
takings. Though a man of his age and responsibilities
could easily have remained in Canada, he was never one to
stay behind because of danger and he knew the principles
at stake in this war.
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 7
The School extends its deep sympathy to his parents,
Dr. and Mrs. Croll of Saskatoon, to his wife and son,
Andrew, and all the members of his family.
J. A. C. DUNCAN
Lieutenant, Grenadier Guards
Andrew came to us from England with his cousin Ken
Scott in September, 1940, and remained until June, 1942.
He had been at Eton but very soon adjusted himself to life
at T.C.S. and in his short stay became one of the most
respected and popular boys in the School. No one could
help admiring the beautifully built and cultured lad he was,
and his modesty, friendliness, enthusiasm and happiness
won all hearts. He was indeed a princoly type of English-
man.
In his final year he was in the Fifth Form, a member
of the Choir, a faithful Sacristan, and a brilliant soccer
player.
Though only seventeen years of age, he felt he should
return to England and enter an Officer Cadet's Training
Unit at the earliest possible moment. He had the unique
experience, for a boy of his age, of flying to England in
wartime with Generals and Admirals.
He re-entered Eton in October, 1942, and wrote to say
that his training at T.C.S. made him excel most boys m
military and gymnasium work and that he was well up in
his studies. In February, 1943, he was nominated for an
O.C.T.U. and after going through a stiff course of training
he won a commission in the Grenadier Guards.
For a time he was stationed at Windsor Barracks,
training recruits, and he was a frequent guest at the Castle
with the Royal Family. He achieved one of his ambitions,
which was to be appointed to the King's Company, and
early in 1945 he was commissioned a full Lieutenant — very
high honours for a young man of twenty.
He was sent to France last September and went
through many battles with his famous regiment.
On Good Friday, March 30, his battalion had crossed
the Rhine at 2 a.m. and by first light had pushed well ahead.
At Aalten, m Holland, they met stiff opposition; Andrew's
8 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
company was sent around the town to attack from the side,
and with Andrew's platoon leading, the company prepared
to attack in strength. The Germans were shelling them
heavily and Andrew ran forward to draw back a machine
gunner who was in an exposed position. On his return he
was hit by a mortar shell and badly wounded. He was
rushed to the advance dressing station but he lived only
twelve hours. His companions say that he showed the
most supreme courage, laughing and joking until the end.
Everyone loved Andrew Duncan and in his short life
of twenty years he gave happiness to all who knew him.
The memories of him will never grow dim and from them
will spring new courage, new ideals, for he was indeed "a
very perfect, gentle knight".
We sorrow for his parents, Brigadier and Mrs. Duncan
of Rajputana, India, who have lost their only son, for his
uncle, Major-General Sir John Duncan, and all the mem-
bers of his family.
M. W. GIBSON
Squadron Leader, R.C.A.F.
Maurice entered the Junior School in September, 1925,
and was with us for five years.
From the first he won all hearts by his quiet, modest,
appealing nature. Always he had a twinkle in his eye and
nothing escaped his notice. He left us to complete his
education and then entered business. Before the war he
was employed with National Steel Car Company at Malton,
Ontario.
Enlisting in the Air Force in 1939, he was promoted
to Pilot Officer early in 1940, and to Flying Officer in the
same year. He served in Canada until the Spring of 1943,
when he went to England as a Flight Lieutenant.
During his three years as Instructor in Canada,
Maurice had no fatal accident amongst those under his
charge and he was regarded as one of the very best in-
structors in the Air Force. In England, his Commanding
Officer indicated that Maurice was considered one of their
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 9
most capable pilots and he was promoted to Squadron
Leader.
On the night of February 8, 1944, his plane was forced
down at sea about twenty-six miles from the coast. He
was flying a Wellington, and the last message received
spoke of engines missing. Rescue craft searched for them
but no trace was found and he was recently presumed dead.
The School extends its sincere sympathy to his wife,
his mother, Mrs. F. M. Gibson, Picton, and his brothers,
J. M. Gibson ('20-'29) and Eugene, who is now at the
School.
J. R. GRANT
Squadron Leader, R.A.F.
John Grant spent only two years at the School from
September, 1930, until June, 1932, but he became one of the
leading boys in that time.
In his last year he was a member of the Remove form
and played on the first football and the first hockey teams.
He left us to continue his schooling, later entering business.
On the outbreak of war he enlisted in the Royal Air Force.
He became a pilot on bombers and took part in many opera-
tions over enemy held territory. He was mentioned in des-
patches for his skill and daring.
On May 11, 1944, his plane with the entire crew was
lost near Louvain, Belgium, and John is now officially pre-
sumed killed in action. We send our deep sympathy to his
family in Kingston.
H. K. McAVITY
Flight Lieutenant, R.C.A.F.
Hugh spent three years with us from September, 1937,
until June, 1940, and during that time he made his mark
in school life.
In his final year he was a member of the Remove
Form, a strong player on the Football team. Captain of a
very good Hockey team, and a member of the Swimming
10 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
team. Because of his influence and reliability, he was
appointed a School Prefect.
He enlisted in the R.C.A.F. shortly after leaving the
School and trained at Brandon, Regina, and Prince Albert.
He received his wings on March 17, 1941, and was commis-
sioned a Pilot Officer.
On March 25, he was posted to Trenton for an instruc-
tional course, and he instructed at Jarvis from June until
October, 1941. In November, he was attached to the
Coastal Artillery Co-Operative Squadron at St. John and
in February, 1942, he was transferred to Dartmouth and
later to Tor Bay, Newfoundland.
On July 21, 1942, he was promoted to Officer Com-
manding No. 2 C.A.C. at Dartmouth with the rank of Flight
Lieutenant. He remained in that capacity until October 25,
1943, and fellow officers speak extremely highly of the ser-
vices he rendered.
He went overseas in December, 1943, and became
Senior Flight Commander of No. 439 Squadron. He was
reported missing after air operations on February 10,
1944, when his plane was seen to fall into the sea. An air-
sea patrol could find no trace of any survivors but it was
hoped he had been taken prisoner ; he has now been official-
ly posted as presumed killed.
Hugh often wrote to the School and it is indeed hard
to think he is not returning. The School sends its sincere
sympathy to his parents and all the members of his family.
R. D. McLaren, d.f.c.
Squadron Leader, R.A.F.
Bob McLaren came to the Junior School as a very
small boy in September, 1928, and some of us remember
him and his winning way very clearly at that time. School
work did not come particularly easily to him but he never
lost his happy outlook on life and it carried him through
many difficulties.
Working his way steadily up, he was a member of the
V Form in 1933, Captain of the Middleside Football team,
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD H
Captain of the Middleside Cricket team, and a strong player
on the Middleside Hockey team. Because of his genial
nature and his desire to see the best in everyone he was a
most popular member of the School.
Leaving in June, 1934, Bob later went to England to
study aeronautical engineering with the DeHaviland Air-
craft Company. He enjoyed his work and did very well
in it.
Enlisting with the R.A.F. on the outbreak of war, he
sailed through his course with the highest standing and
was immediately made an instructor; stationed at first in
Prestwick, Scotland, then in England, he was posted to
Canada in 1941 finishing his duties at Goderich in June,
1943.
Bob was considered one of the most skilful instruc-
tors in the R.A.F. and despite his repeated requests to be
sent on operations, his superiors felt they could not spare
him until the air training plan was in full swing.
En route with his wife to England in June, 1943, he
stayed with the Headmaster overnight and showed his
bride every detail of the School.
Bob was a most loyal and enthusiastic Old Boy and
he said it was his ambition to see his son at T.C.S. Before
he drove away he stood at the top of the hill looking to-
ward Cobourg on a beautiful June morning and drank in
the beauty of the countryside.
After his return, he was stationed at Little Onn,
Church Eaton, Staffs, and wrote often to the School about
his activities and meetings with Old Boys. Among others,
he had seen J. R. Grant and Pat Osier, and he was deeply
saddened when they were reported missing.
In November, 1944, Bob was awarded the D.F.C. for
his distinguished and gallant service, and especially for the
vital part he played in the sinking of the Tirpitz. Soon after,
he was promoted to Squadron Leader and for a time was
commanding his Flight. His work at that time was secret
but it is now known that he was a leading member of the
R.A.F.'s 'Met' flight, a small group of picked experts who
explored the actual weather conditions over Germany be-
fore every attack by the bomber command. They flew
Mosquitoes.
12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
In January, 1945, Bob wrote disclaiming any title to
credit for winning the D.F.C. and saying that the Infantry
had the tough job. He added, "Long pause — sort of day-
dreaming about things — the Germans. What a canker on
the face of the earth. Let us see that it does not fester
again after this war." Bob was grateful to the School for
the cigarettes and he said his young son, Duncan, age
eight months, was getting ready to join us.
In March, Bob was reported missing and later he was
believed to have been killed. After the advance into Ger-
many Bob's navigator was found and he gave details of
Bob's death. They had been sent on reconnaissance over
Germany on February 27; over Mayence they were sud-
denly attacked by fighters and one engine was put out of
action. The navigator thought they should jump but Bob
climbed above the clouds and tried to get home with his
information. Losing their course, they came down beneath
the clouds into a heavy concentration of anti-aircraft. The
plane crashed and Bob was killed instantly, though his
navigator was miraculously thrown clear.
Everyone who knew Bob was drawn to him by his
friendliness and selfless kindness; his loss will be bitterly
felt. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his wife and baby
son, his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Duncan McLaren
of Toronto, and to the other members of his family.
A. B. MOORE
Sergeant Air Gunner, R.C.A.F.
Arthur Bryson Moore was at the School from 1937 to
1942. In his final year he was a House Officer, a member
of the Sixth Form, and a stalwart player on the Second
Basketball Team, not to mention his outstanding perform-
ance on Middleside B Cricket.
"Abe" enlisted in the Air Force in August, 1942, train-
ed at Aylmer and Guelph, and graduated as an air-gunner
from Macdonald, Manitoba, in August, 1943. Going over-
seas, he served with an R.A.F. Bomber Command unit until
posted missing after air operations. He was recently pre-
sumed dead.
TRINITY COLJ-.EGE SCHOOL RECORD 13
Bryson had real character and won many friends dur-
ing his years at the School. His school work was not easy
for him, but he showed unusual interest in the drama and
particularly in the development of screen plays. He was
hoping to be a critic or a producer of plays.
Bryson's father, the late "Art" Moore, was a former
well-known member of the old Ottawa Silver Seven Hockey
Team. He is survived by his two sisters, Mrs. Curtis C.
Bogart and Mrs. Edward A. Evans, both of Ottawa, to
whom we extend our sincere sympathy.
W. L. C. WHITE
Captain, Begina Rifles of Canada
Lisle came to T.C.S. in 1931 and left us from the fourth
form two years later. He attended Campion College,
Regina, and later became a Civil Servant. Some of us re-
member a visit he paid on a motor bike away back in 1934.
He obtained a position with the T.C.A. in Regina but
enlisted in 1939 with the Army, going overseas in 1941. In
November, 1942, he returned to Calgary as an Instructor
and was posted overseas again in August, 1943. He took
part in the invasion on "D" Day with the Regina Rifles
and was killed near Caen on July 8, 1944.
Lisle was a most attractive lad, always willing and
helpful; his loss will be keenly felt.
The School extends its deep sympathy to his mother,
Mrs. A. H. White of Saskatoon, and his sister, Mrs. G. N.
McCallmn.
F. E. WIGLE, O.B.E., D.S.O.
Lieutenant-Colonel, Argyle & Sutherland Highlanders
We were all terribly shocked to hear of the death in
action, on April 12, of Fred Wigle, especially as we were
just writing about the honours he had won by his gal-
lantry and skill.
Fred came to us from Hamilton in September, 1929,
when the Senior School was at Woodstock, and he left
14 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
from the Sixth Form in June, 1932, Few boys have shown
stronger powers of leadership than Fred Wigle and it was
an exceptional testimony to his forceful and upright char-
acter that he was awarded the Bronze Medal for "steady
perseverance in courtesy, industry and integrity", sharing
this honour with the Head Prefect.
Throughout his years at the School, Fred naturally
showed the way to most of the other boys and he could
always be relied upon to give the best that was in him. He
was a leading Prefect, one of the best players on the Foot-
ball team and on the Hockey team, and a member of the
Second Eleven.
Entering McGill, he continued to make a name for him-
self, doing well in his course and starring on the University
Football and Hockey teams.
After graduating, he entered business in Montreal and
in 1937 he married Miss Margaret Willmot Holton, of Ham-
ilton, Fred served on the executive of the Old Boys' As-
sociation and did much to make the 75th Anniversary re-
union such a success.
He enlisted in the Army in May, 1941, as Lieutenant,
Training at Camp Borden in the Armoured Corps, he was
posted overseas in November, 1941, with the rank of Cap-
tain.
In England, he was selected for a Staff Course and in
September, 1943, he was confirmed in the rank of Major.
Later he was appointed G,S,0, 1 of the 4th Armoured
Division and his brilliant and brave conduct quickly mark-
ed him for further promotion.
In order to give him infantry experience he was ap-
pointed to the command of the Argyle & Sutherland High-
landers in February, 1945, with the rank of Lieutenant-
Colonel. Very few officers have won so many promotions
in such a short time. According to his fellow officers,
Fred's inspiration and leadership soon made this battalion
the most efficient one in the brigade. A high ranking staff
officer and personal aide to General Montgomery says that
"Fred fought his battalion magnificently all through the
Hochwald battle — which was as tough a killing match as
any unit has seen m this war. He then took his battalion
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 15
across the Rhine and had been right up in the front until
he was killed".
Fred had moved his tactical headquarters into a build-
ing in the little town of Friesoythe, west of Bremen. He
had one officer and ten other ranks with him. At four in
the morning of April 12 another battalion drove eighty
Germans from a strong point a mile and a half south of
Friesoythe. They retreated to Fred's town arriving about
7 a.m. Fred saw them coming and realized he would have
a struggle. He put half his men on the ground floor and
half on the second floor. The Germans closed in and sur-
rounded the house, firing at point blank range. After the
first fierce encounter Fred sent a message for assistance
and then decided to go upstairs to help his men there. Just
as he put his foot on the first step a German paratrooper
across the street fired into the open door and killed Fred
instantly. All the rest of Fred's men were killed, with the
exception of two, in this courageous battle of ten against
eighty.
According to the officer quoted above, "Fred had won
the hearts of everybody wherever he had gone; his bat-
talion worshipped him and by every man his death was
considered a personal loss. His reputation as a commander
was very high indeed and I know he was considered one of
the best C.O.'s in the Canadian Army".
In March, 1945, Fred was awarded the O.B.E. "for
gallantry, efficiency, and devotion to duty."
Later he was awarded the D.S.O. for complete disre-
gard for personal safety in going forward to rally and in-
spire his men under heavy German counter attacks. His
battalion had been in action continuously for forty-eight
hours but they were ordered to launch another attack on
the east end of the Hochwald Forest gap at 2.30 a.m. In
the words of the official citation, "By 4 a.m. all objectives
had been taken. From 6 a.m. on, the enemy shelled and
mortared the area incessantly and during the ensuing 24
hours counter-attacked eight times with infantry and tiger
tanks. During this entire time Lieut.-Col. Wigle was con-
stantly forward with his leading companies, encouraging
his men and co-ordinating their defences. Despite heavy
16 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
casualties, he directed the fire so effectively that the final
attack was driven off with great loss to the enemy. There
can be no doubt that the skill, initiative and daring dis-
played by this officer was directly responsible for the suc-
cess of this difficult operation. His courage was an inspira-
tion to all ranks under his command."
After his death he was mentioned in despatches for
gallant and distinguished service with the Armoured Corps
before his appointment to the command of the A. & S.
Highlanders.
We mourn his loss and send our deep sympathy to his
wife, his small son, his parents, Mr and Mrs. G. W. Wigle,
and the other members of his family.
A. B. WILKES
Major, R.A.M.C.
Major Wilkes, whose death was reported in a previous
number, attended the School from 1905 until 1908.
He served as a Captain in the R.C.A.M.C. in the last
war and moved to England in 1936. At the outbreak of
the present war he was appointed a Captain in the R.A.
M.C. and carried out inoculations of British troops at Alder-
shot. Later he was posted to the R.E.M.E. depot in Berk-
shire as Medical Officer. He was promoted to the rank of
Major and then made Second in Command of the Military
Hospital in Ascot. In 1943, he was sent to Scotland to at-
tend to troops who were leaving for the East.
Owing to over work, he suffered a heart attack and
died on December 29, 1943.
At School Major Wilkes was a brilliant student,
winning most of the prizes in the Fifth Form and he kept
up his fine record at McGill. He was also a member of the
First Football team.
To Mrs. Wilkes and the members of his family the
School sends its deep sympathy.

CHAPEL iMIiNOTES
The Lost Property Office
On Sunday, May 6, the Headmaster read in Chapel a
story written by Dr. Alington of Eton shortly after the
last Great War.
The story dwejt with a lost property office, but one
established to make good only personal losses. Into this
office troop individuals who claim to have lost their money,
their jobs, their books, umbrellas, etc., but the superin-
tendent had to convince them that nothing could be done
for them as these things hadn't really belonged to them at
all. Then a man came to complain that his character had
been taken away by a friend of his. but he was told that
character was something one could not possibly lose and
in reality it was his temper he had lost. If he just let it
be known that he had lost it, then it would come back all
right. Another man in great distress though he had lost
his faith, but he was told it had never been his own but one
he had found lying about and had picked up. "It's a good
pattern", said the superintendent, "and there's more of the
same material. What matters is the stuff it's made of and
not the precise cut. But you must do some of the work
yourself." Another had lost opportunities but he was ad-
vised that there's no failure except ceasing to try. Finally
a lady came in deep mourning; she had lost her son in the
war. The superintendent read some passages to her from
the life of a gallant Old Boy: 'And so one must just go on
never doubting that the time will come when I shall see
him again.' And 'I wonder why a little wooden cross means
so much when he is far away, and yet I don't suppose so
18 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD
very far.' And he led her to a beautiful picture of One
who gave His life for others and rose again the third day.
Before she left the superintendent read her a verse
which ran as follows:
Lest Heaven be full of grey beards hoary,
God, who made boys for His delight.
Stoops in an hour of grief and glory
And calls them in, out of the night.
Memorial Service
At the annual Memorial Service held on Trinity Sun-
day, May 27, the Rev. F. H. Cosgrave, Provost of Trinity
College, preached the sermon, introducing it by the text:
"All these died in peace".
The Provost began by reminding us that we were pri-
marily gathered together on this occasion to pay tribute
to the eight hundred Old Boys who have served in this, the
greatest of all wars, and more especially to the j&fty-six
Old Boys and one Master who have given their lives. These
men certainly realized the dangers that confronted them,
but, never wavering, they chose to follow the path of
Christ and to execute their duties with a full measure of
devotion. We feel that those who have paid the price
would not have regretted their choice, and their memory
is all the more deserving and significant in that they repre-
sent the countless thousands of young men who have done
so much to deliver us from the fearful tyranny which
threatened.
There are many of us, the Provost concluded, who
were too young or too old to take a direct part in the fight-
ing. But, since the price of freedom is eternal vigilance,
the battle continues. It is up to us to dedicate ourselves
to the ideals for which these men died. Unless we, the
youth of the country, are prepared to play our part, the
future holds but little promise.

Archdeacon Sawers, Sunday, June 3
On Sunday,- June 3, the last Sunday of term, the Rev.
Archdeacon Sawers preached at the Evening Service, tak-
ing his text from the 7th Chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to
the Corrinthians at the 11th verse: "What is your life?"
He went on to point out that Life has been described as
many things, a race, a battle, a stewardship, and a voyage,
among others.
But Life is also a Pilgrimage, with a goal to reach, a
fact that leads us to think of John Bunyan's story of the
Pilgrim's Progress, where each character exemplifies a
characteristic of man. Also, we remember the story of
the great Pilgrimage from the Lepers' Chapel at Glaston-
bury to Canterbury. Archdeacon Sawers continued by
stressing that Life is a Stewardship and a mission which
we cannot own but which is a measure to be filled and not
a goblet to be emptied. Its aim is service, its law is sacri-
fice, and its strength is fellowship with God.
Canon Sawers closed by reminding us that a life of
grace is a progressive process of mental enlightenment and
moral purification in mystical union with Christ.

Bain and Congratulations
We have had more rain during this past term than
anyone can remember before. According to the boys, there
were hardly seven fine days from the beginning of term
on April 11th until Speech Day on June 9th. It was really
remarkable that we played as many cricket matches and
as much tennis as we did. Great credit is due to the boys
for their patience and long suffering under such conditions.
The Senior School wishes to congratulate the Junior
School Eleven on winning all its matches, including games
with Ridley and U.C.C. Such a record augurs well for
future years. The First Eleven won its matches against
U.C.C. and St. Andrew's, losing to Ridley on a stormy day.
Our team showed its best form in the U.C.C. game, Allen
and Hope batting extremely well, and Cox bowling with
extraordinary effectiveness.
Shooting
The Cadet Corps has won the King George V Cup for
being the best unit in the best Military District of Canada
in the Youth of the Empire Shoot for 1944.
The Corps has also won the Devonshire Trophy for
coming first in Canada in the same competition. This is
the fourth successive year the School has won the Devon-
shire Trophy.
T.C.S. IN THE WEST
Nine years ago the Headmaster and Mrs. Ketchum
visited Old Boys in the West and this year the Governing
Body decided that the trip should be repeated. It is always
TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 23
a thrill to see something of the extraordinary variety of
our wonderful country after the train turns west from Sud-
bury — the fascinating north shore of Lake Superior, the
limitless levels of the prairies, the foothill country with its
romance of riding the ranges and the exciting feeling of
new discoveries around every bend, the amazing steeps of
the Rockies, and finally the thriving Pacific Coast. But it
is a real inspiration to find across this country so many
T.C.S. people and to experience such warm hospitality and
kindness.
At Winnipeg messages came from Old Boys, and at
Regina Judge and Mrs. Percy Gordon got on the train to
travel to Moose Jaw with us. Our first stop was in Cal-
gary on April 15th, where Mr, Buck Pearce had arranged
a busy day for us. After a luncheon and a tea, about
thirty T.C.S. people gathered at the Ranchmen's Club and
we talked informally ab
